Refreshing Lemon Drop
I have just the perfect lemon drop martinis for your parties all through spring and summer.
For the vodka, I chose Oak by Absolut, a new vodka featuring a combination of original Absolut vodka, barrel rested vodka and vodka rested on oak to create a taste profile unlike anything else.
Other than that, you just need some triple sec (orange-flavored liquor), fresh lemon juice, sugar, and ice.
Mix everything up and you can get the party started!

I used the Triple Sec, but instead of regular sugar, I used Monk Fruit Sugar for fewer carbs. Tasted amazing. Wowed my cocktail-crazed friend.
Love this recipe! It’s so easy to make and the lemon drops are delicious!

Iam a diabetic can I try without sugar? Lemon and vodka should taste good.
Yes you can.
My Wife uses Sprite zero instead of Sugar… Gives it a great taste with a little extra pizzazz
