Preparation

Step 1

The vodka, triple sec, sugar and lemon juice go into an ice filled shaker.

Shake sufficiently to fully dissolve the sugar but don’t go crazy with it or you will end up with shards of ice floating in your glass.

We should explain that you should be using superfine sugar, which is not the granulated sugar you find in that sugar bowl and sprinkle on your corn flakes. Superfine sugar is instantly dissolving sugar that is typically used in drinks and for baking.


Serving A Lemon Drop Martini

Select a fun, clear martini glass.
With a wedge of lemon, trace the rim of the martini glass leaving a thin wet film. Dip the rim of the glass in superfine sugar. Pour your lemon drop martini into your sugar rimmed martini glass and garnish with the twisted lemon peel.
