Stirrings Lemon Drop Martini Rimmer
Stirrings Lemon Drop Martini Rimmer is the lemon sugar rimmer for the Lemon Drop — "a blend of confections for the lip of your lemon drop martini." In Stirrings' own words, it makes the drink "glimmer like the sun," with just the right amount of sweetness to complement the tartness of the lemon, in a 3.5 oz (99g) tin.

About This Rimmer
The Lemon Drop is two opposites colliding — pure sugar and sharp lemon — and this rimmer is the sugar half of that equation, coloured golden with turmeric and flavoured with natural lemon. Stirrings' rimming sugars are fine enough to coat evenly and versatile enough to garnish almost any cocktail that wants a sweet rim. Complete the trio with the Stirrings Cosmopolitan Rimmer and the salt-based Stirrings Margarita Rimmer.
How to Use
Pour about three tablespoons onto a small plate or use the tin. Moisten the rim of a chilled martini glass with a lemon wedge, dip and rotate until the rim glitters, then strain in your Lemon Drop — vodka, lemon juice, orange liqueur and a touch of simple syrup. It also dresses a Lemon Drop shot or a lemon-garnished iced tea.
