Description:
The Lemon Drop Martini is a 1970s cocktail usually associated with San Francisco and Henry Africa's bar. Its name points to the lemon drop candy, not to the classic dry Martini. It is a bright sweet-tart cocktail with a clean citrus profile. The sugar rim is more than decoration: it softens the sharp lemon acidity and makes the drink feel rounder.
