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!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons warm water
- 1 Meyer lemon, juiced and peeled
- 2 fluid ounces vodka
- 1 fluid ounce orange-flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau®)
- ice
- 1 teaspoon white sugar, or as needed for rimming
Directions
Step 1
Combine 2 teaspoons sugar and warm water in a cocktail shaker; stir to dissolve sugar. Pour Meyer lemon juice, lemon peels, vodka, and orange liqueur into the shaker; add ice. Cover and shake vigorously.
Step 2
Remove a lemon peel from the shaker and wipe the rim of a martini glass with the peel. Dip the rim of the glass in 1 teaspoon sugar, or as needed. Strain martini into prepared glass.
Recipe Tip
You can use 2 teaspoons simple syrup to sweeten the martini instead of the sugar and water. To make 1 1/2 cups simple syrup, bring 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup water to a boil until sugar is melted. Allow to cool completely, then store syrup in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks.
