History

Lemon Drop Martini grew out of 1970s West Coast bar culture, offering a candy-bright twist on vodka and citrus. With its sugared rim and sharp-sweet profile, it feels like a bridge between dessert and classic sour. Playful yet clean, it’s often a first “martini” for those new to the category and suits nights that feel more like pop music than jazz.
