You made it to the end of the week and now it's time to drink! We're highlighting a new cocktail each Friday so we can all enjoy a little something special to kick off our holiday weekend.

A classic martini gets a little sweet with the addition of lemon juice and simple syrup. The Lemon Drop Martini tastes just like your favorite lemon candy, which is a very good thing if you're in the mood for something a little sweeter.
