(get it? Lemon Drop Cocktail + NYE Ball Drop = Lemon Ball Drop)
What better way to ring in the New Year than with a lemony, sweet, refreshing cocktail? The Lemon Drop martini is one of my favorites, actually anything lemon and I'm on it! So much so that a good friend of mine actually nicknamed me "Lemony" because I love lemons so much (feel free to call me Lemony anytime)! To me, lemons are good luck. Yes, I just made that up, but how else do you think those traditions and superstitions get started? This cocktail is easy to make and customize.
I had a blast creating this post as it was a family affair! My lovely sister in law has a beautiful blog: illistyle which she has so graciously allowed me to guest post with this cocktail. Please take a peek at her blog as she is uber talented and it is chock full of wonderful crafts, recipes, and other handmade ideas.
