Hi Shandy... If my mother was still here, she would have loved you to bits!!! Her favourite apéritif was a "good" Martini and this looks amazingly delish! Thank you so very much for sharing and all the great pics. Cheers!!!


I thought lemon drops, only came in shots =)


Wonderful. Tried this the first time on a cruise and have loved them ever since. Thanks for the yummy post.


Appreciate the pictures!


Krumake recommended you since I am into martinis right now. I just bought some new glasses today that are crying to be filled, and this looks good to me!!


We made these by the pitcher for our last barbecue and couldn't keep up with the demand. thanks for the great recipe.


Nice Drink, you are the best...Thanks


Wow, just found this one on your site! This is my absolute favorite cocktail and now I have found one that I just might like. All the rest of the recipes I have used have had something lacking. I don't think this one will! Thanks so very much! High 5 to you!
