SIPS :: Lemon Drop Martinis

      Hey . . .it's Cineca! 

I LOVE Darcy Miller from Martha Stewart Weddings, and I couldn't have been more excited when Laura had the chance to chat with her last week.

{Don't miss Laura's interview with Darcy...}

Darcy debuted her new party line, Summer Daisy Party, this week on OpenSky.

As I browsed through the bright & fun Daisy themed goodies...I found myself thinking,

"Self, a refreshing, lemony cocktail would pair perfectly with this party!"

This delicious Lemon Drop Martini adds the perfect adult kick to such an adorable

Summer party! Pour...Enjoy...Repeat!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz vodka (I prefer Grey Goose or Skyy)
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1 tsp sugar 
3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice (reserve lemon for garnish)

Ice cubes
Sugar to rim glass

Directions:

Fill a shaker with ice

Add vodka, triple sec, sugar and lemon juice

Shake well to make sure sugar is blended.

Pour strained liquor into a sugar-rimmed martini glass

Garnish with a twisted peel of lemon.

*To create a sugar-rimmed glass, take a lemon wedge and rub the drinking surface of the glass so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into sugar
