For those who like the sweet and tangy taste of lemonade with a kick, our low-ABV take on the Lemon Drop martini has you covered. This recipe can be your summer afternoon go-to when you’re on the porch or poolside, or the perfect mocktail to start or end your evening. For those with a thirst for something completely zero-proof, eliminate the triple sec and use four ounces of Ritual gin alternative instead. Cheers!
