Lemon Martini, Time for the Patio

The lemon martini tastes like a lemonade, the perfect fusion

Sydney and I are addicted to lemons; we can peel a lemon like an orange, segment the fragrant fruit, and eat the segments (my dentist has been cautioning that the enamel could be in danger). Rather than given up the fruit, we incorporated the bright lemon into various desserts and we squeeze the juice from the lemons. We have been drinking a lemon martini to cool down and relax during the hot days, however I seem to always want to have another. The martini has a secret punch that keeps you wanting more.

The Lemon martini is ridiculously simple, though guest will never know.

56 gram/ 2 0unce Citron Vodka
38 grams/ 1 ounce limoncello
Freshly Squeezed lemonade, cold
