Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup sugar
Zest of 1 giant lemon or 2 medium lemons
3/4 cup lemonade good quality lemonade (Simply Lemonade is excellent or use fresh lemons make your own)
2 shots lemon vodka (I used 360 Sorrento Lemon Vodka)
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
½ cup granulated sugar or ultra fine granulated baking sugar
2 cups water or club soda

Steps:

  • Place martini glasses in freezer to chill while you prepare the drinks.
  • Start by making sugar to rim the glasses. Zest one or two lemons.
  • Choose a small dish with sides big enough to dip the rim of the glass you plan to use. Combine the 1/3 cup sugar and lemon zest together in the bowl. Use your fingers to mash/squish it together until thoroughly mixed.
  • Take a small slice of lemon and rub around the entire rim of the chilled glass. Dip the damp rim into your sugar mixture and set the glass aside to dry.
  • Select a high quality lemonade or make your own by combining fresh squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar with water, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • To make two martinis combine ¾ cup lemonade with 2 shots vodka. Shake over ice in a cocktail shaker and serve in chilled, sugar rimmed glasses. Drink and repeat!
