A lemon drop is a vodka-based cocktail that has a lemony, sweet and sour flavor, prepared using lemon juice, triple sec and simple syrup.

It has been described as a variant of, or as “a take on”, the vodka martini, but is in actual fact a closer to a white Lady variant.

It is typically prepared and served straight up – chilled with ice and strained.
