This Gin Dandy cocktail recipe comes from Martha Stewart.

Tip: When serving cocktails over ice, use larger ice cubes – they melt more slowly, preventing over-dilution of your drink. A small amount of melted ice could contribute to the overall flavour of your drink, but too much… Well, you know what they say ?

½ cup sugar

½ cup water

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
