With a ¾ to 1 ratio, the lemon in this lemon drop martini doesn’t overpower the other ingredients. In fact, the drink is well balanced and tart enough to be refreshing without making your lips pucker. That’s because the lemon, on its own, is so tart and astringent. The simple syrup and the Cointreau soften the lemon’s tartness and strong flavor. But for the lemon drop martini, I mix the lemon juice and simple syrup in almost equal measure. It is well known that I prefer my cocktails to have a higher ratio of sour to sweet usually I’ll mix a 2:1 ratio. I love this lemon drop martini because it is slightly sour and oh so lemony, which makes it a refreshing and satisfying cocktail to have in your repertoire.
