History
In the martini family, here is the Lemon Drop Martini cocktail. This cocktail is said to have originated in the 1970s at a bar in San Francisco called Henry Africa's. The cocktail is very popular on the west coast of California today.
The bar is said to have created a whole series of "girly drinks", strong but sweetened cocktails that would be better suited to women. The Lemon Drop Martini recipe was one of them.
