LEMON DROP RECIPE WITH LIMONCELLO

This Lemon Drop Martini made with icy cold Limoncello is the most delicious summer cocktail. A lemon drop is a light and refreshing vodka martini with a fresh burst of tart lemony sweetness.

A lemon martini cocktail should be super cold. The liquor can even be stored in the freezer ahead of time so that it is freezer cold. It's also a good idea to chill your martini glasses in the freezer. They will get that frosty chill in about 10 minutes.
