Recipes Drinks Recipes Cocktail Recipes Vodka Drinks Recipes Meyer Lemon Martini 4.9 (20) 17 Reviews 8 Photos 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!

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. 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.

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. I Made It Print 39 home cooks made it!
