{Thirsty Thursday) Lemon Drop Martinis with 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
