BOURBON LEMON DROP MARTINI
This smooth Bourbon Lemon Drop Martini is good, bitter and oh so good – a selfmade sweet and sour blend is the important thing! clean enough for summer time and clean sufficient to drink inside the fall.
Ummm… Nance, I just were given lower back from Nashville and had the maximum super cocktail – it had bourbon and lemon in it and it become so clean – do you suspect you could re create it for me?
Uh huh. So after asking some extra pertinent questions ( the way it turned into served, how candy changed into it, another flavors she ought to detect?) I went to work.
