Lemon Drop Martini

When I was younger, the Lemon Drop was a popular shot for college kids. But we’ve all grown up, and so has the Lemon Drop. Allow me to introduce you to the Lemon Drop Martini -a refreshingly tart, not cloyingly sweet cocktail. The key is to balance sour and sweet with fresh lemon juice along with a lemon sugar rim on the glass.
