Notes
Storage :
This martini is best served immediately.
Tips:
- I highly recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice--the juice from a bottle just isn't the same!
- Use a good quality vodka. You don’t need to go straight to the top shelf, but choose a smooth vodka.
- If you find the drink to be a little too tart, add more syrup next time. Likewise, if it's a bit too sweet for your taste, pour more lemon juice.
- Make a large batch and add to a pitcher--perfect for a party!
- Martinis are best served very cold. You can even chill the martini glasses in advance.
