Cook: Robin

Suggestion: I always add a maraschino cherry to the bottom of my martini glass - just for show!

Blurb: My first lemon drop martini was in Kona, Hawaii. We were watching a sunset over the ocean. While enjoying this recipe for the cookbook, I found it was so good I made it two nights in a row!
