Quickly adopted as the House Drink at TDBAB, the Lemon Drop Martini has developed an international following. We have long ago learned that when a guest asks for a recipe, it's not likely for the Roasted Cherry Tomato Clafoutis, so here goes:

This version has its origins at Episode Cafe in Toronto

1½ cups Vodka
1½ cups Limoncello
1½ cups Grapefruit Juice*
1 cup Lemon Juice

Shake vigorously over ice cubes and strain into chilled martini glasses each rimmed with sugar and garnished with a lemon slice.

This version has its origins at McCormick & Schmick's in San Diego

1½ cups lemon juice
1 cup simple syrup
3 cups SKYY citrus
1½ cups Triple Sec

Shake vigorously over ice cubes and strain into chilled martini glasses each rimmed with sugar and garnished with a lemon slice.

Beware! This version is much more potent!

*grapefruit juice should not be combined with certain medications
