Two lemon drop martinis |
Speaking of obsessive desires to create the perfect drink, this is the latest greatest version of the lemon drop. If I e-mailed you earlier versions, try this one. I like it more than the earlier versions.

1 oz. (2 Tbsp, 30 ml) of Limoncello
1 oz. (2 Tbsp, 30 ml) of Lemon Juice

Combine the ingredients in a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake, pour into a martini glass with a sugared rim, and garnish with basil.
