The Friday Cocktail — Lemon Drop Martini

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.

Here is what you’ll need to make an Lemon Drop Martini:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces vodka

1. Coat the rim of a cocktail glass with sugar and set aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the ingredients and shake well.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with a lemon slice.
