LEMON DROP MARTINI - The best lemon drop martini recipe!

THE BEST LEMON DROP MARTINI
That's right I said it - the best Lemon Drop out there!

Ingredients: Vodka, Triple Sec, Simple Syrup, Lemon Juice, Sugar, Candied Lemon Peel

Developed at Henry Africa's in San Francisco, the Lemon Drop Martini is a favorite "girl" drink - sweet and potent! These go down very, very easy, especially in the warm summer months so count your glasses!

The candied lemon peel garnish is a real must if you want "wow" factor! Candied lemon peels are delish and so easy to make - just follow my recipe

Oprah adopted this drink for her famous Legends Ball but she put a little twist on it - the addition of mint leaves as garnish.

This would bring an even more refreshing flavor to the martini, however, I would treat the mint as an integral part of the martini and muddle one leaf with the sugar in the martini shaker prior to adding the ice and the other ingredients! The muddling would release the oils in the mint leaf and allow the mint to envelop the other ingredients. I would be sure to strain the martini properly because of the crushed leaves. Then I would call it a Lemon Mint Drop Martini!

I have to be honest - I don't think this Lemon Drop Martini needs any extras to make it fabulous - it's great with just it's lemony wonderousness and it's one of my most popular martini recipes. . . . BUT if you must mess around with it why not try my CHERRY LEMON DROP MARTINI?
