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.

Really good!

Light and refreshing any time of the year. Thank you.

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!

1 tbsp more sugar and it's sooo good. Very refreshing.

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!

This drink was very refreshing and I also put sugar on the rims of the martini glasses. Thanks for the recipe!

I've never had a lemon drop so I've nothing to compare it to, but my guests and I LOVED this drink! I sugared martini glasses and added a mint leaf. So pretty, so darn good and really potent! Thanks EDandy!

this was good, but the lemon drops i have had at clubs, you put sugar on your hand, lick the sugar, drink the vodka shot and suck a lemon slice... but this was still good!

Wow. I LOVE the tart/sweet combination! Looks like I'll be sleeping in tomorrow morning... Thanks!

These are dangerous! *LoL*

Very Good!

in most bars, if you were to order this drink, it would be: chilled citron vodka in a shot glass. served with a sugar coated lemon slice.
