This was very refreshing, which we enjoyed out on our patio this afternoon. I did add just a little more sugar to get the right mix of that zesty citrus against the hint of sweetness from the syrup (but that might due to our Meyer lemons not being as sweet as they normally are). But otherwise, I really enjoyed this martini. Thanks, carmenskitchen. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

Although hardly your traditional southern girl, I come from a huge southern family and have been cooking since I was eight years old. Cooking is more then a hobby, I genuinely get so much pleasure from cooking and providing the people I love with great food. I have to attest, that it truly IS the way to a man's heart! In my opinion, there is nothing more admirable to hold then the truest essence of a homemaker, or as the term is coined today "household engineer"! I am a licensed real estate agent working full-time from home and a soccer mom to my 9 year old son. I am a busy bee but somehow find time to indulge in some of my many passions: dancing, photography, sewing and interior design. Finding that perfect balance is what I strive to do everyday and so far so good.
