Here’s my recipe for a limoncello-based lemon drop martini. It’s tart and sweet, and very lemony. A lot like the old-fashioned candy.

Lemon Head Martini

1. In a shaker, combine:
   • 1.5 oz. fresh lemon juice
   • 1.5 oz. homemade limoncello
   • 1.5 oz. Cointreau
   • 1.5 oz. good vodka (like Pearl, Chopin, Grey Goose, etc.)
   • ice
2. Shake and strain into a chilled, sugar-rimmed martini glass
3. Garnish with lemon twist (I like a long, unruly curlicue)

For herbal variations, try muddling with a sprig of mint, thyme, or rosemary before shaking with ice.

Enjoy!
