I omit the triple sec, and use Absolut Citron vodka instead. Yum. Or optionally, substitute the berry flavored Absolut vodka instead for a raspberry-lemon drop.Yeah, I've had a few in my time...

My favorite:
1 oz lemon flavored vodka
1 oz Limoncello liqueur
1 oz sweet and sour
Lemon juice and superfine sugar to taste
Mix the vodka, Limocello, sugar, sweet & sour and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice; shake well. Pour strained liquor into sugar-rimmed martini glass and garnish with a twisted peel of lemon.
Yum yum yum!

Or, use Hanger One, either Citron (Buddha's Hand) or Kaffir Lime. The Kaffir Lime makes a lovely tart 'drop.
If anyone lives near a Cheesecake Factory, they make an awsome Chocolate Martini.....

This is all making me very thirsty! In 45 minutes I'm going to see a friend who makes great gin martinis (with Hendrick's! Yum!)
Keep calm and carry on...

Susan, Rock Bottom in downtown Portland has this wonderful house drink with a fairly explicit name. It's made with lemonade, raspberry vodka, and chambord, and it's extremely tasty. Careful, though, as it is also highly efficient...

I make an easier version with just the raspberry vodka and lemonade. Such a good combination of flavors! I will have to try your recipe.
