Lemon Drop #2

The Lemon Drop #2 shot is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that embodies a perfect balance of tart and sweet flavors. This shot features lemon-flavored vodka, which provides a zesty base, complemented by the tangy sweetness of the sweet and sour mix. The addition of a slice of lemon enhances its citrus profile, while a touch of sugar on the rim or mixed in brings a delightful sweetness that rounds out the sharpness of the lemon. The result is a smooth and invigorating shot that captures the essence of a classic lemon drop candy in liquid form.

The Lemon Drop cocktail is believed to have originated in the 1970s in San Francisco, created by bartender Norman Jay Hobday, who also founded the first fern bar, Henry Africa's. Initially crafted as a cocktail, the Lemon Drop gained popularity due to its approachable and refreshing flavor, making it a favorite among those who enjoy a sweeter drink. Over time, the Lemon Drop evolved into various iterations, including the Lemon Drop shot, which offers a more concentrated and quick-to-enjoy version of the original cocktail.

This shot is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Shot Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
