Lemon Drop
This classic cocktail was created in the 1970’s by Norman Hobday, owner of Henry Africa’s in San Francisco. Recognized as the first ‘fern bar’ (as opposed to dive bar) Henry Africa’s was decorated with Tiffany Lamps and ferns and served premium spirits made with fresh juice. The influence of both the fern bar and Lemon Drop endures.
