For an extra burst of flavor, consider muddling a small piece of Meyer lemon peel with the sugar and water. This releases the oils and enhances the citrus aroma. Use high-quality vodka and orange liqueur for the best flavor profile. The difference is noticeable! If Meyer lemons are unavailable, substitute with regular lemons but add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to balance the acidity. Chill your martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving to keep your martini colder for longer. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding a splash of simple syrup if needed.
