J.K.'s Lemon Drop Martini

Enjoy a modern whiskey twist on a traditional martini!  J.K.'s Lemon Drop Martini shows how far we have come from the family's backwoods whiskey-making days during Prohibition.

2 oz. J.K.'s Lemon Whiskey
1 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. simple syrup
1 whole lemon
 
Add whiskey, Cointreau and simple syrup to shaker filled with ice. Add juice of 1 fresh lemon. Shake and strain into sugar rimmed martini glass.

For those who favor lime, substitute fresh lime.
