How to Make Lemon Drop Martini

  1. Chill martini glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce triple sec, ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice, and ½ ounce simple syrup (or ¾ teaspoon sugar). Add 4-5 ice cubes.
  3. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of each chilled martini glass. Dip the rim in sugar to create a sweet, sugared edge.
  5. Strain the martini mixture into the prepared glasses.
  6. Garnish with a lemon twist (optional).
