Summer is the time to lighten up and sip on cocktails with fresh ingredients. Vodka and citrus make the perfect pair. A Lemon Drop Martini is a grown-up version of lemonade and Biggie’s version is spot on. When making this at home start with a good citrus vodka, fresh lemons, and sugar.

3 oz. of citrus vodka

Splash of triple sec

Fresh lemon juice

Pinch of sugar

Garnish with lemon wedge

Add vodka and triple sec to a shaker tin. Squeeze a fresh lemon; add a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of water. Shake and strain into a sugar rimmed martini glass. Enjoy! ••
