This might be my all-time favorite photo of mine. It's classy, chic and amazingly
delicious. Break out the shaker and enjoy!
Lemon Drop Martini
1 1/2 oz good quality vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1 tsp. super fine sugar
3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice- or more depending on taste
Mix vodka, triple sec, sugar and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker half filled with
ice cubes. Shake well to make sure sugar is blended. Pour into a sugar-rimmed
martini glass and garnish with a twisted lemon peel.
