IBA NewEra

레몬 드롭은 보드카, 코앵트로, 신선한 레몬 주스를 설탕 리밍된 칵테일 글라스에 담은 생기 넘치는 칵테일로, 달콤함과 시트러스의 균형이 1990년대 칵테일 붐의 정의적인 음료 중 하나가 되게 했습니다. 설탕 림은 각 모금을 사탕처럼 만들어 새콤한 레몬 내부와 대조를 이룹니다. 지속적인 글로벌 매력을 가진 IBA 뉴 에라 음료입니다.

History & Origins

The Lemon Drop was created by Norman Jay Hobday, founder of Henry Africa's bar in San Francisco, in the 1970s as one of the first sweet, candy-inspired cocktails. It gained explosive popularity in American bars throughout the 1990s as part of the cosmopolitan-style fruit martini trend and was eventually formalized by the IBA as a New Era cocktail. It remains a staple of cocktail menus worldwide.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright fresh lemon citrus and orange peel from the Cointreau, with a clean vodka spirit note. Palate: Vibrant and sweet-tart — fresh lemon's acidity plays against Cointreau's orange sweetness and vodka's neutral warmth, with the sugared rim adding a candy sweetness to each sip. Finish: Crisp and citrusy, with Cointreau's orange and a clean vodka warmth lingering.

Pro Tip

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and refrigerate the glass before rimming with superfine sugar — a wet rim will cause the sugar to dissolve too quickly.
