Lemon drop martini’s are my absolute favorite drinks. My dad and Steph introduced me to them on my 21st birthday at Roy’s! Ever since then I have been hooked. However, as I get older (uh) I try to watch my sugar intake. MANY lemon drop martini’s have like 2 TSP of pure sugar in ONE DRINK! Literally insanity. Thankfully, Sabir and I have been experimenting with a few different ingredients and finally nailed a combination we love!
The key ingredient here is the lemonade drink mix by True Lemon. It only has 3g of carbs per packet and since this recipe only calls for 1/2 of the packet to make one martini, that’s only 1.5g of carbs!
True Lemon has clean ingredients and is a healthier alternative to Crystal Light. However, if you cannot find this at your local grocery store then Crystal Light will definitely work.
Remember to drink responsibly and enjoy!
