My mom's Lemondrop Martini is a family traditional drink made for St.Patrick's Day. Yes, we know it's not authenticly Irish but it's served in a lovely emerald green Anchor Hocking Bubble Stem Sherbet Cup that came from my great, great Irish Aunt (Johnny Cash's cousin!) We adore these sherbet glasses and typically use our Meyer Lemons from our Meyer Lemon tree because it's the perfect timing!
INGREDIENTS

0.5 oz Grand Marnier
