I made this drink for my hubby for our Valentines day dinner. He loved it and so did I.I chilled the glass in the freezer, rimmed it with sugar and decorated it with a slice of lemon.

My husband prepared this drink to serve 20 adults as a house drink for Thanksgiving Dinner - doubling/tripling/quadrupling it. We served it in a punch bowl, and garnished the punch cups with lemon/sugar rim in advance, and skewers of marinated dried cherries. Also froze lemon slices in decorative ice molds to keep the punch chilled. We handed each adult a drink as they arrived - everyone loved it and it got the party going!

Too bad VERY FEW bartenders actually make this well. I can't tell you how many times I've quoted this recipe at a restaurant... it's so tasty! Thanks for sharing a classic Ina.

Great cocktail. Made these last weekend for a dinner party using our barmaid to rim them with some fresh lemon sugar. So good! Everyone loved this drink. I agree with anbzocher_5292200 that this is a dangerous cocktail and a DD is a must. Thanks for the great recipe!

Oh, so very lethal. Feels very 50s to be drinking these. Went to a party where this was served and while an accomplished, ahem, drinker - do not remember going home! Did not see this coming, kept getting another one. Glad for designated drivers!

Made these for company last week. Already had placed simple syrup (my addition and freshly squeezed lemon juice in sealed containers in frig. Frosted glasses and mixed drinks quickly....wow...were they refreshing and perfect for a summer night in the south! Will definitely make often. Thanks Ina! Youre the best !!

This old favorite is now my new favorite. Do frost the glasses! That little bit of sweet is the perfect balance to the tartness of the lemon juice.

These are tasty, but beware...those of you who have a low tolerance...this will knock you sideways. Very tasty though!

I was not a martini fan until I tried this recipe. The fresh lemon juice makes this outstanding. Dipping the rim in lemon and sugar makes the drink extra yummy and elegant looking, but it also makes it more difficult to clean the glasses. This drink also packs a punch, so one drink is plenty.
