The Lemon Drop cocktail has its origins in the bar culture of San Francisco in the 1970s. It first appeared as the Lemon Drop Martini.

This cocktail was inspired by the lemon drop candy popular in America. By transferring the balance of sweet and sour into the drink, the cocktail quickly became popular.

“The best flavors in life come from a balance of opposites.”

Over time, bars started to prepare a small and fast-drinking shot version of this cocktail. Today, the Lemon Drop Shot is especially popular in nightclubs and party scenes.
