About the Lemon Drop
The Lemon Drop combines vodka, triple sec, and lemon juice to create a sweet and sour beverage with strong lemon notes. This cocktail is served straight up and typically has a sugar-rimmed glass.
History
Created during the 1970s by Norman Jay Hobday at his San Francisco, California bar, the Lemon Drop became popular at many local establishments. The drink's name probably comes from lemon drop candy. Initially served in a cocktail glass, it was occasionally made as a shooter in the early 1990s.
