Feel free to adjust the measurements to get YOUR perfectly sweet and sour martini. 3 parts vodka (3 oz) to 2 parts lemon juice (2 oz) to 1 part simple syrup (1 oz) as the foundational recipe. Like my Aperol Wine Spritzer, this martini uses a 3-2-1 recipe to keep it easy to remember. Try 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar for this recipe. If you want to make a lemon drop (or any kind of cocktail) without using simple syrup you will need a superfine sugar to properly dissolve. This simple syrup recipe is based on White Sugar, but subbing raw sugar or turbinado sugar can be a great way to add some variety. Sugar: The sugar is important for further rounding out the flavor of the shots.With only a few ingredients it is important to use good ones. While you can use any neutral grain alcohol (or potato alcohol for those of you with gluten allergies), I find that the results are better if you opt for a smoother vodka such as Tito’s or Ciroc. Vodka: This one is fairly self-explanatory.Any lemon variety will work in this recipe, but Meyer Lemons have a little more complex sweetness that really elevate this recipe. The sweetness and acidity are a perfect way to round out and balance the heat from the vodka. Lemons: Lemons are wonderful year-round, but they are especially flavorful in the summer.The versatility of this drink has helped it maintain its place among the most popular bar cocktails and.my summer cocktail menu. The drink evolved into a shot during the rapid growth in club popularity during the 1990s and is now commonly found in both forms. The Lemon Drop Martini was invented in San Francisco during the creative cocktail boom of the 1970s and immediately took off nationwide. There simply is no better drink for your next pool party or lake weekend, this cocktail is sure to be a real crowd pleaser. These frozen Lemon Drop Martini Shots are the most refreshing “adults-only” drink to enjoy on a hot summer day.

If there was a single flavor that I associate with summer, it would be the sweet and sour kick of lemon.
