Since lemon is a sour fruit, some people prefer an equal amount of simple sirup to lemon juice. I prefer a ratio that is slightly more sour than sweet \u2013 so a .75 to 1 ratio of sweet to sour. Try these proportions first and taste the result before you add more simple syrup if you ultimately want a sweeter taste.<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<div itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\" class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-ingredient cooked-ing-no-checkbox\"><span class=\"cooked-ing-amount\" data-decimal=\"4\">4<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-measurement\">fl oz<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-name\">Vodka<\/span><\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\" class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-ingredient cooked-ing-no-checkbox\"><span class=\"cooked-ing-amount\" data-decimal=\"1.5\">1.50<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-measurement\">fl oz<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-name\">Cointreau (or Triple Sec or Grand Marnier)<\/span><\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\" class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-ingredient cooked-ing-no-checkbox\"><span class=\"cooked-ing-amount\" data-decimal=\"2\">2<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-measurement\">fl oz<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-name\">Lemon juice*<\/span><\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\" class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-ingredient cooked-ing-no-checkbox\"><span class=\"cooked-ing-amount\" data-decimal=\"1.5\">1.50<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-measurement\">fl oz<\/span> <span class=\"cooked-ing-name\">Simple sirup<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Directions<\/h3>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-directions\">\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 1\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Combine ingredients with ice in a shaker, cap and shake for at least 20 seconds. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 2\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Strain and pour into martini glasses.
