The Lemon Drop cocktail has a refreshing history dating back to the 1970s. This zesty concoction is believed to have originated in California, where it quickly gained popularity for its tangy and sweet flavors. The drink typically consists of vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup, served in a sugar-rimmed glass. Renowned mixologists like Dale DeGroff have put their own spin on this classic, elevating its status in the cocktail world. Today, the best Lemon Drop can be savored in upscale bars and restaurants known for their craft cocktails. The key to a perfect Lemon Drop lies in using fresh, high-quality ingredients and achieving the ideal balance of sweet and sour. For a fun twist, some bartenders incorporate lemon zest or flavored liqueurs to enhance the drink's citrusy profile. Whether shaken or stirred, the Lemon Drop remains a beloved choice for those seeking a vibrant and invigorating libation.
