Frosty Lemon Martini

By sheilaolim

Notes: Look for lemon- flavored vodka and liqueur (such
as the Italian liquore di limoni) in well-stocked
supermarkets and liquor stores. For extra frostiness, put
sugar-rimmed glasses in the freezer for 7 to 8 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Lemon wedge
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 6 tablespoons chilled lemon-flavored vodka (3 oz.; see
• notes)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pour sugar onto a small, rimmed plate. Rub rims of two martini glasses with lemon wedge to
moisten, then dip rims into sugar to coat (see notes).
2. Place ice in a cocktail shaker. Add vodka, liqueur, and lemon juice. Shake until mixture is
very cold, about 10 seconds. Strain into glasses. Garnish each with a twist of lemon peel.
