Lemon Drop Martini with Canned Cocktails

Quick Answer

Use a canned cocktail like Cutwater Lemon Drop Martini as the base to make a lemon drop martini in seconds—just chill, pour, and garnish for a bar-quality drink.

Steps to Make a Lemon Drop Martini with Canned Cocktails

1. Chill the Canned Cocktail: Place the can of Cutwater Lemon Drop Martini in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For faster results, fill a shaker with ice, pour the canned cocktail, stir for 30 seconds, then strain into a glass. Skipping the chill step leads to a watered-down drink if you shake with ice and don't strain quickly.
2. Prepare Your Glass: Rim a martini glass with sugar for the classic lemon drop look. Rub a lemon wedge around the rim, then dip it into a plate of superfine sugar. Tap off excess. Chill the glass in the freezer for 5 minutes to keep the drink cold longer. A room-temperature glass warms the cocktail quickly, so don't skip the chill if you want a crisp sip.
3. Pour and Garnish: Open the chilled can and pour the cocktail directly into the prepared glass. Garnish with a thin lemon wheel or a spiral twist. Serve immediately. Avoid adding extra ice to the glass—it dilutes the intended flavor and texture of a martini.
