Enjoy the long weekend!
I'll be ODing on hotdogs, one of my all time favorite foods, going to the parade, romping on the beach, having lemon-drop martinis and generally having a grand old time. I hope you do too.
Lemon Drop Martini Recipe
3 Lemons juiced
3 shots Vodka
3 TB sugar (use bar sugar AKA superfine sugar or castor sugar) if possible
Rim martini glass with lemon then dip into sugar. Large crystal yellow decorating sugar looks really good.
Throw juice, sugar and vodka in shaker with lots of ice. Shake.
Pour into rimmed glass and garnish with lemon peel.
Yummy
(No Sour Mix! It only tastes good with fresh squeezed lemons.)
Keep away from the kids as it tastes just like a lemon drop candy!
And keep in mind, just like the old martini jokes, one's not enough and two's too many!

Have a great weekend and ohmygod thank you for that martini recipe!
Gracias Sangoncito!
Melissa, do tell me if you love it the way I do..........!!
I'll take a martini any way I can get it but this does sound yummy. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Thanks Michelle...We're headed out for the parade -- hope you're having a good weekend too!
I'm with you on the hot dogs-enjoy your holiday!
I loooove lemon drops but I haven't had one in a couple years because one or two isn't enough since they're so small. By the time I've had my fill, I'm plastered. Lately, I'm sticking with beer, it's safe. Have you tried Boddingtons? It's very good and after 2 pints, I'm feeling great!
Thanks Hank the dog...of course you'd like hotdogs!
Dashababy, I don't do the little ones in shot glasses...I do a big martini glass full...I let the ice melt in the shaker so it gets very cold and also dilutes a bit. I do love Boddingtons...I love all beer. Stella Artois is good and one of the oldest beers around first made in the 1300s I think...
