TIP: An easy way to get the fine sugar instead of buying it is use regular sugar and put it in a blender of your choice it makes fine sugar.

These are yummy. BUT I found an easier way: Frozen Lemonade Concentrate! use that instead of mixing water & sugar or even corn syrup! it's amazingly good!!!

I'm sorry to say that I had to add a whole lot of sugar to this one. I've had many lemon drop martinis. Probably more than I should admit to. This was very sour. I recently had a really decent one at our local restaurant and they used Snapple Lemonade. I've made lemon drop martinis before and this one is by far the worst I've tried. I'm so sorry. I hate giving bad reviews but this one was yucky

I'm a bartender and i have a special recipe for lemon drops, this particular recipe will leave you with a pursed face and no buzz. To make a GREAT lemon drop martini, you need to first fill your mixing tin with 8 oz of ice, you need 2 oz. of (preferrably) citrus vodka, squeeze 2 lemon wedges for natural juice and drop wedges into shaker, add 1/2 oz. of cointreu or another citrus liquer, 1 oz. of lemon juice, and then 2 individual packets or 3 teaspoons of sugar. The trick to getting a PERFECT lemon drop is to shake the tin a lot, you want to mix the sugar up into the liquid, not having it settle at the bottom of the tin. Strain the ice and lemon wedges and enjoy a PERFECT lemon drop. My recipe will deffinitely impress your guests and keep everyone having an awesome time. Good luck...

After I tinkered, this is by far our favorite martini recipe...For 2 servings: 1 lemon , 2 oz vodka,3 oz. simple syrup into a sugar rimmed glass...heavenly! (Tastes dangerously like refreshing lemonade.)

I'm not sure what went wrong here, but I followed the recipe exactly and this was SOUR! I mean, really, really, sour. I've had lemon drops before and they were nothing like this. I added an additional two teaspoons of sugar to make it drinkable, and eventually ended up filling the rest of the glass with cranberry juice because it was simply too lemony.

This may be a 'duhh' but I made the mistake when making this drink just now, of using the lemon juice CONCENTRATE that you get in the store. Needless to say it was WAY too sour, but upon discovering this I 'saved' it by doubling the vodka, adding two tsp. more sugar and about 1/4c of some almost flat sprite that my roommate had in the fridge. Turned out wonderful after that. Next time I'll be trying fresh squeezed lemons.

This would actually be a lot better made in a shaker with crushed ice, and then strained into a martini glass. It should be cold enough to serve without adding ice to the glass.

I have to admit, I was a bit buzzed when I made this and i was trying to make it from memory...in any case, it was good and it wasnt too strong, too sour or too sweet...definitely will try again!

As per other suggestions, I cut the lemon juice down and used a bit more sugar. All I had on hand was raspberry vodka and it turned out great!

One of my favorite shots when I go out! I used about equal parts lemon and vodka and a little more sugar. The way I made it it was a good sipping cocktail as well. Obviously a good vodka is key - I prefer belvedere. Fine baking sugar disolves very quickly in the martinin shaker when you make tis as well. I like to cut lemon wedges and then coat them in sugar so people can bite into them after they take a drink. Thanks!

I used citron vodka, simple syrup instead of sugar (& I added at least a tsp extra) & I also rimmed my martini glass w/ sugar. I think this recipe might be meant for shots (there are two different lemon drops...a martini & a shot). I only got two martini glasses out of the recipe & mine are just the small 5 oz size. I think next time I will try rimming it w/ crushed lemon drop candies.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lemon Drop martinis! I always have to add more sugar whenever I make this drink. I usually eyeball everything. You can buy Lemon Drop rimmer at specialty stores and it is a nice compliment to the drink, it's yellow too!

I'm sorry, but I love Lemon Drop Martini and this was awful! Way too much lemon juice. I needed to add alot more sugar and vodka to it to make it drinkable. After a few sips I ended up adding some peach nectar to it... After that it was awesome!
