Lemon Drop Martini

IBA

A product of the San Francisco cocktail scene in the 1970s, the Lemon Drop Martini emerged during a period when vodka was reshaping American drinking habits. It delivers a sharp citrus brightness softened by the orange warmth of triple sec, resulting in a drink that is unapologetically tart and direct in its appeal.
