Instructions: How to make a Lavender Lemon Drop Martini:

Step 1: Chill your glass! Be sure to add ice to your martini glass to make it nice and cold so it’s the perfect temperature for a hot summer day!

Step 2: Sugar the rim of your martini glass! Once your martini glass has been chilled, place some sugar on a plate and rub a lemon wedge around the entire rim and dip the rim (or roll the rim) into the sugar. You can also add some lemon zest or lavender flakes to the sugar for extra color and flavor!

Step 3: Combine vodka, ice, triple sec, lemon juice, and lavender syrup in a shaker. Be sure to follow the exact measurements so you don’t over do it and make it either too sweet or too bitter. Shake the ingredients well for a good 15-20 seconds until the liquid is mixed perfectly and very cold.
Step 4: Using a strainer, if your shaker doesn’t have one, strain the mixture and pour it into the martini glass.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve! Add a lemon twist to the side of your martini rim and a sprig of lavender to reall make your martini stand out and look inviting! This is the best part of making luxurious martinis- the added touches at the end!
