A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Lemon Drop on a bar counter.

Lemon Drop

A closeup of a Sour, Year Round Lemon Drop drink against a dark background.

The Lemon Drop is a classic for a reason. With the perfect blend of sweet and tart, this martini is a fan favorite. Often also served up as a shot, a Lemon Drop comes together with fresh lemon juice, vodka, orange liqueur, and a bit of simple syrup. For a little something extra, rim the martini glass with Tajín. The spicy kick complements the citrus flavor and serves as a tasty contrast to NEFT Vodka’s creamy rye base.
