I have a couple of meyer lemon trees at home. In the autumn the lemons are ripe and ready for picking. With an excess of lemons at our disposal this is a go to beverage for my wife and I.
½ oz Simple Syrup
1 oz Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
2 oz Vanilla Vodka
Combine all ingredients in cocktail shaker.
Shake with ice.
Strain into a martini glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist.
Partake.
Notes
Please use fresh lemon juice if at all possible. If you use store bought prepared lemon juice, please don't tell me about it. Any fresh lemon will work, but I prefer meyer lemons as they have a sweeter, less acidic flavor than regular lemons. For the vodka, I recommend Absolute Vanilla for this cocktail. Also, don't buy simple syrup it is incredibly easy to make your own.
