If you normally prefer vodka-based drinks, the Lemon Drop Martini is likely to feel more familiar.
Is the LongHorn Lemon Drop Martini Sweet?

Is It Strong?
It is still an alcoholic vodka cocktail, even though the lemon and sweetness can make it taste smoother.

Alcohol strength can also vary depending on the pour and preparation.
