Where the Lemon Drop Cocktail Came From
The lemon drop cocktail is a very sweet and sour cocktail. It became popular around the 70′s in California. Today, the lemon drop cocktail or martini is one of western Canada and USA‘s favourite drinks.
The drink was created at a now long passed bar once called Henry Africa’s in San Francisco USA. The creator of this cocktail was a bartender by the name of Norman Jay Hobday, who wasn’t just the primary mixologist but also the founder and proprietor of Henry Africa’s. In 1969, Norm fashioned the cocktail after the sour lemon flavoured candies… also known as Lemon Drops.
This is a great cocktail because its hard to taste the alcohol. It also means this cocktail can be a little dangerous due to its’ drinkability.
