Elevated Mixers Lemon Drop Recipe

The Lemon Drop is a delicious sweet and tart 80s cocktail that was created by Norman Jay Hobday in San Francisco at his world-renowned bar, Henry Africa's. Hobday was inspired by the famous Lemon Drop candies, and he sought to create a cocktail that captured their irresistible combination of sweetness and tartness.

Today, the Lemon Drop is enjoyed by cocktail lovers around the world, and it has become a classic in its own right. Its refreshing and citrusy flavors make it the perfect drink to enjoy, whether you are lounging by the pool or enjoying a night out with friends.
