THE LEMON AIDE MARTINI
For when life hands you lemons close to Happy Hour
Ingredients: Lemon Vodka, Triple Sec, Powdered (Confectioners) Sugar, Frozen Lemonade, Sugar, Lemon Peel - Twist, Lemon Wedge
I believe in having options even in my martini recipes - you never know when you might want to have a particular favorite designer martini and be out of one of the key ingredients! Often you can adjust a martini recipe to work with what you have on hand which is exactly what I had to do the other day when I was out of fresh lemons and wanted my Lemon Drop Martini.
It had been so bloody hot that a cool, refreshing Lemon Drop Martini was just the ticket to beat the heat of a hot summer day, but. . . .I was out of fresh lemons! Luckily, I did have a nice little can of frozen lemonade tucked away in my freezer so I "made do" as my Mom used to say and spooned some of the undiluted frozen lemonade into my shot glass instead! I left out the sugar the first time around because frozen lemonade is already sweetened but I found it was not sweetened enough for me and added one teaspoon of powdered sugar. This not only sweetened the lemon, it gave it a nice creamy froth too!
If you need an even simpler version of a lemon martini, check out The White Trash Lemon Drop Martini - it's a hoot and a half.
I call this emergency "MacGyver" lemonade martini a Lemon Aide Martini because it was exactly that on a hot day - lemon aide.
For an interesting twist on the lemon twist garnish try making some of my CANDIED LEMON PEELS for a sweet ending.
