Tips:

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. You'll need about 1 ½ lemons to get 2 ounces of juice.
Chill your martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help keep your drink cold and refreshing.
For a sweeter martini, add more honey syrup. You can also use simple syrup if you don't have honey syrup on hand.
To make a non-alcoholic version of this martini, omit the vodka and add more honey syrup or simple syrup to taste.
