A Lemon Drop is a vodka-based beverage that tastes lemony, sweet and sour. The standard Lemon Drop recipe consists of vodka, fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup. The sweet and acidic flavours in the Lemon Drop recipe complement and balance one another. It has been described as a Vodka Martini variation, however it is more akin to a White Lady variation. It is usually shaken or swirled with ice, strained and served in a chilled glass, like a chilled martini glass.
