For a smoother cocktail, consider removing the seeds from the Meyer lemon before blending. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your lemon. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may need to blend for a longer time or strain the mixture twice to remove any remaining lemon pulp. Experiment with different types of vodka to find your favorite flavor combination. Garnish with a small wedge of Meyer lemon or a sprig of fresh mint for an elegant touch.
