Vincent's Lemon Drop Martini
"I found this in a Van Gogh Vodka recipe booklet. It's a bit different than other Lemon Drops I've tried, with a nice mix of sweet and sour. Kind of like lemonade for grown-ups!"

Super drink! I used Grey Goose Vodka and 1 tbs simple syrup...was fantastic! Thanks for sharing! -
Best one I've found so far!! -
Haven't tried this... yet. I was just taken aback by the beauty of the photo and had to tell you. Breathtaking. -
My husband and I both loved this martini! I didn't have any Cointreau on hand so I substituted Triple Sec, and I used a packet of equal instead of the sugar! Feeling good! -
This is almost like drinking lemonade (well, almost). We used Absolut Citron. Now this is a martini that will knock your socks off (even if yor're not wearing any. Definitely different than most Lemon Drop Martini's we've had.. . .kind of like a cross between a Lemon Drop and a Margarita.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
