Lemon drop martini

I was drinking these out at The Melting Pot for for my birthday. They are deceptively smooth.

Lemon Drop Martini

  • 3 oz Stoli
  • 3/4 oz Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 1.5 oz simple syrup
  • 1.5 oz part fresh lemon juice
  • Shake over ice and strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with table sugar

The Cointreau can be a little overpowering in this drink, so use it sparingly. This is even more true of the Triple Sec.
