Notes

Both US customary and metric measurements are provided. Use the toggle on the recipe card to switch between the two.

Variations

  • Frozen version: Blend everything with a handful of ice for a slushy lemon drop.
  • Add a sugared rim: The rim of the glass can be coated in sugar for a little something extra. Run a lemon or lime wedge along the edge of the glass, then dip the glass in a little plate of sugar. For a lemon sugar rim, rub the sugar in some lemon zest first.
  • Sparkling version: Top the finished martini with a splash of chilled prosecco for a lighter, bubbly version.
  • Swap the vodka for gin.
