1 lemon wedge
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp vodka
1 tbsp limoncello
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp rosemary-infused simple syrup*

RIM a martini glass with a wedge of lemon and dip into granulated sugar to coat.
COMBINE vodka with limoncello, lemon juice and rosemary-infused simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice. Shake for 10 sec. Strain into the martini glass. Garnish lemon drop martini with a rosemary sprig.
*To make simple syrup, bring 1/2 cup each granulated sugar and water to a boil. Remove from heat and add a sprig of fresh rosemary. Cool and strain before using. (Or learn how to make simple syrup in the microwave—it's even easier!)
