What is the bartender tip for a Lemon Drop Martini?
The IBA spec is short: 30 ml vodka, 20 ml triple sec, and 15 ml lemon juice. The sugar rim is the sweetness the spec leaves out of the shaker — without it the drink is dry. Lemon, not lime: the catalog's Kamikaze is the lime cousin in equal parts, on the rocks in a rocks glass. Citrus vodka (citron) shows up in older specs; neutral vodka works if the juice is fresh. Cold glass, no ice: the sugar rim melts if the drink is on the rocks. If it's too tart, 5 ml of simple syrup rounds it out without turning it into lemonade.
