Drinks

Sixteen Shake Lemon Ice Box Martini

4 ounces lemonade

2 ounces vodka

2 ounces half-n-half

1 teaspoon sugar

Dump the ingredients into a martini shaker with a handful of ice and shake sixteen times, no more, no less. Rub the rim of a big martini glass with a lemon wedge and strain the mixture into the glass. I drop three ice cubes from the shaker in there as well. Watch out…these are sneaky little buggers.
