📜 History

The Lemon Drop cocktail was created in the 1970s in San Francisco and became a martini bar staple. This pudding shot captures its sweet-tart citrus profile in creamy form. The lemon pudding provides brightness while the vodka adds kick, creating a refreshing alternative to heavier chocolate-based shots.
