LEMON MARTINI

Most sweet martinis are pushing the simple syrup, created from lots of sugar and water. Though a touch of anything is fine in moderation, the inclusion of limoncello invites the exclusion of unnecessary additional sugar. Correct, no need for the rim either :). Cheers to this lemon martini.
