For those who enjoy a little sour with the sweet, this vodka martini riff is for you. Sometimes called a Lemon Drop, this variation uses limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur, instead of vermouth, fresh lemon juice and a touch of simple syrup, which adds just the right amount of sweetness. The cracked pepper notes from the Ketel One Vodka add an intriguing and multifaceted flavor that lingers with each sip. This cocktail can be served in a martini glass for a classic vibe, or you can up the ante with an eye-catching, art deco-inspired coupe glass for added glamor.
