Lemon Drop Martini

This Popular cocktail is from the 80s.
The name refers it as a Martini but it’s actually a Crusta.

Ingredients
60 ml Vodka
7.5 ml Cointreau
22.5 ml fresh lemon juice
22.5 ml simple sugar syrup

  1. Rim a martini glass with lemon juice and then sugar.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  3. Add Vodka, Cointreau, Simple syrup, and Lemon juice.
  4. Cover and shake vigorously.
  5. Strain (or double strain if you don’t like lemon pulps) into your prepared glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

You would really want your Martini to be very chilled, so do shake well.
Fresh lemon juice and very fine sugar are some key aspects too.

Any premium vodka would be good.
Any Triple sec is fine as Cointreau is just a brand name of a triple sec technically.

Cheers!
