I love lemon drops. They can be sour and sweet. Perfect for an afternoon tea or a fancy dinner party. It's a great cocktail to feel like a fancy lady or gentleman. I also love the simplicity of the lemon drop martini because it has an easy three step system: vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. You can add more flavors to it to elevate it or just enjoy the simple cocktail. Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy the lemon drop martini. I hope it inspires you to try a lemon drop and change it up!
