Brunch - PINK LEMON DROP MARTINI 🍋🍸 Ingredients - 1 ½ oz vodka (preferably a smooth citrus vodka) - 1 oz fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon) - ½ oz triple sec or Cointreau - 1 oz cranberry juice (for the pink hue) - ½ oz simple syrup (or to taste) - Ice cubes - Sugar (for rimming the glass) - Lemon twist or a slice of lemon (for garnish) Directions 1. Begin your cocktail creation by preparing your martini glass. To give it a beautiful, sparkling rim, take a wedge of lemon and run it around the rim of the glass. Next, dip the rim into a small plate of sugar, ensuring it coats evenly. This not only adds a touch of sweetness but also a decorative finish. Set the glass aside. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, fresh lemon juice, triple sec (or Cointreau), cranberry juice, and simple syrup. The combination of fresh lemon juice and cranberry juice will not only give the drink its lovely pink color but also provide a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. 3. Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the top. It’s important to fill it well to ensure that your drink is chilled effectively and well-mixed. 4. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The goal here is to mix the ingredients thoroughly while chilling them to perfection. You should feel the shaker getting cold in your hands. 5. Once shaken, open the shaker and strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass. A fine mesh strainer can help filter out any bits of ice or pulp, resulting in a smooth finish. 6. To add the finishing touch, garnish your martini with a lemon twist or a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass. It not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the lemony aroma as you sip. 7. Take a moment to admire your creation before taking that first sip. Enjoy your Pink Lemon Drop Martini responsibly!
