For some reason, google images has not heard of this lovely little cocktail, so you are graced with another picture of a lemon drop, a very similar drink.This version basically gives the lemon drop back some of its "martininess" by adding a bit of sweet vermouth, making for a slightly less sweet drink. When I made it, I put a little too much lemon juice in as I'd just gotten a juicer for Christmas (thanks Mush!) and got carried away, which made the drink on the too tart side of delicious. Otherwise a splendid drink and one worth mixing up:
2 ounces lemon vodka
1/4 ounce sweet vermouth
splash of simple syrup
3/4 ounce lemon juice
-Shake gently with cracked ice in cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass.
So how were your holidays? Do any epic drinking (in either quantity or quality)?
Enjoy and bottoms up!
