Meyer Lemon Martini Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cocktail Recipes. (Meyer Lemon Martini Recipe). Meyer lemons, a cross between a lemon and an orange, have a sweeter, less acidic flavor than the more common lemon. If you have to use a regular lemon, add a little extra sugar to taste. For the ultimate martini, use good quality vodka and orange liqueur. I should have named this the 'come to mama' martini!
