Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Lemon Drop Martini.
Step 1
Start by preparing your martini glass. Moisten the rim with a splash of lemon juice or water, then dip it into sugar to create a sweet, crunchy edge. Set this aside and let it dry a bit while you mix your cocktail.
Step 2
Next, grab a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice cubes. Add the grated lemon peel, freshly squeezed lemon juice, mint leaves, vodka, and simple syrup. This combination is where the magic happens! Shake it all together until well chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 3
Once your mixture is chilled to perfection, strain it into the prepared martini glass. The vibrant color and refreshing aroma will have everyone eager to take a sip!
How to Serve
Serve chilled, garnished with a mint leaf or a lemon twist for an extra touch of elegance.
How to Store
This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before serving again.
