HUBBY’S LEMON DROP MARTINI, oh yeah! Several years ago, my hubby cultivated a love for making a new cocktail whenever we have friends over! Before they arrive, he researches the world of cocktail making and come up with a new concoction for that evening. This classic Lemon Drop Martini today, which has quickly become his go-to drink for an evening with friends and family, starts with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and builds from there. This results in arguably the world’s best Lemon Drop around! And he always rims the glass with some sort of sugary-lemony goodness to add to the pure enjoyment of this drink! Below is his recipe for HUBBY’S LEMON DROP MARTINI……we hope you enjoy this yumminess as much as we do! Cheers!!
