You better believe it. Lemons are full of Vitamin C which helps form and preserve connective tissue as well as skin, teeth and bones. Lemons can help decrease blood cholesterol. They can increase liver function and boost metabolism. Lemons help with digestion and boost gallbladder function. There are so many benefits to this heavenly citrus fruit.

HOW TO MAKE A LEMON DROP MARTINI.

This cocktail could not be any easier. Run the rim of the glass with lemon juice and dip the edge in fine sugar. In cocktail shaker combine ice, vodka, triple sec, lemon juice and sugar (if desired). Give it a little shake and pour it in your glass. It is just that simple to mix up! Nothing to it folks!!

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN MAKING THIS LEMON DROP MARTINI RECIPE.

If you don’t have extra fine sugar you can use regular sugar pulsed a couple of times in a grinder. I
Use good quality vodka. It really does make a difference.
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker don’t fret. You can use a clean jar, protein shaker or even a sports bottle.
Adjust this martini to taste. The triple sec adds plenty of sweetness for me so I prefer mine without sugar. Hubby though prefers his with sugar as he says he needs all the sweetness he can get.
