About
The Lemon Drop Martini was born in the 1970s, a time when sweet and festive cocktails were booming. Its invention is credited to Norman Jay Hobday, a San Francisco bartender and entrepreneur who opened an innovative bar called Henry Africa’s in 1972. The establishment became famous for popularizing the fern bar concept, bars with a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, often decorated with ferns and green plants, attracting a younger and more sophisticated clientele.
