Lemon Drop Martini
Made with Big Storm’s Lemon Flavored Vodka
The Lemon Drop Martini is a classic cocktail with a zesty twist, featuring Big Storm Lemon Vodka for an extra citrus punch. This drink blends the tartness of fresh lemon juice with the smoothness of the vodka, softened by a touch of simple syrup for a perfectly balanced sweet-and-sour experience. Served in a sugar-rimmed martini glass and garnished with a lemon twist, it's not only delicious but also visually appealing—a sophisticated choice for any cocktail hour.
Ingredients
3 oz Big Storm Lemon Vodka
1 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz simple syrup
Ice
Sugar (for rimming the glass)
Lemon twist (for garnish)
Preparation
Prepare Glass: Rim a martini glass with sugar. To do this, rub a lemon slice around the edge of the glass and then dip it into sugar, ensuring an even coat.
Mix Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine Big Storm Lemon Vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. The goal is to chill the cocktail thoroughly and mix the ingredients well.
Strain: Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a lemon twist. To make a lemon twist, take a thin slice of lemon peel and twist it over the glass to release the oils, then drop it into the drink.
