History

A sherbet lemon flavour profile, this is well-balanced and refreshing, though not truly a Martini.

This drink, an alternatini that gained popularity in the 1990s, is thought to be a variation of the Lemon Drop cocktail. The original Lemon Drop is attributed to Norman Jay Hobday, who created it in the 1970s at his establishment, Henry Africa's, located in San Francisco, California.
