Lemon Drop Martini, Lemon Drop Martini, Lemon Drop Martini with a baseball bat!
If you don't know the Peanut Butter Jelly Time song, then that's totally lost on you. What a shame. (You-Tube it. Then, you'll really hate me.)
I want to share my favorite summer time drink with you.
Behold:
All this lemon-y deliciousness in a glass, rimmed with sugar and loaded with booze. (and a bit of ice in the bottom from when I chilled my glass.)
I tried to re-create this beautiful concoction after one of mine and my girlfriends' favorite martini bars. (They still make the best.)
Warning: Do NOT have more than 2 of these without eating! This is experience speaking here, people!
Mmmm.....Here ya go!
Lemon Drop Martini
Makes: 1
1 1/2 shots Citrus Vodka
2 shots Limoncello
1 full shot freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 t. sugar (you could also use a little simple syrup if you have it on hand)
lemon slice for garnish, if you wish
Combine ingredients over ice in a shaker. Shake for a few seconds. Pour into a chilled, sugar-rimmed martini glass. Garnish with slice of lemon.
**For a less boozy martini, you could substitute the limoncello with lemonade OR frozen lemonade concentrate.
