The Lemon Drop Martini Cocktail is a vodka-based cocktail with a lemony, sweet and sour taste. The drink was invented in the 1970s by Norman Jay Hobday, the founder and bartender of Henry Africa`s Bar in San Francisco, which opened there in 1969. The name of the cocktail probably goes back to the Lemon Drops known in English-speaking countries.
