History of the Lemon Drop Cocktail

The Lemon Drop cocktail was invented in the 1970s by Norman Jay Hobday at his San Francisco bar, Henry Africa’s. Named after the sweet and sour lemon drop candy, the cocktail quickly gained popularity for its balanced flavour. Originally served in a cocktail glass, it later became common to serve it in a martini glass with a sugared rim to offset the tartness, making it a nationwide favourite.
