My friend Greg and I get together occasionally for a cocktail; more importantly, it’s an excuse to catch up. During this Sunday afternoon visit, we made our version of a Lemon Drop Martini, which paired well with some harmless gossip. The Lemon Drop is as close to perfect as a drink can get, not too sweet with just enough of a bite. However, there is one problem with the cocktail, and that is that there is a 2-drink minimum.
