MEYER LEMON MARTINI



Meyer Lemon Martini image

Meyer lemons, a cross between a lemon and an orange, have a sweeter, less acidic flavor than the more common lemon. If you have to use a regular lemon, add a little extra sugar to taste. For the ultimate martini, use good quality vodka and orange liqueur. I should have named this the 'come to mama' martini!

SPARKLING LEMON COCKTAIL

If you pour the bubbly too quickly, the drink will foam up and over the edge of the glass.
