A Lemon Drop is a vodka-based cocktail that has a lemony, sweet and sour flavor, prepared using cocktail recipes like lemon juice, triple sec and simple syrup. It has been described as a variant of, or as "a take on", the Vodka Martini. It is typically prepared and served straight up – chilled with ice and strained.

The drink was invented sometime in the 1970s by Norman Jay Hobday, the founder and proprietor of Henry Africa's bar in San Francisco, California.
