Here is the receipe I have for a lemon drop:

Glass: Cocktail - Chilled
Sugar Rim

In Mixing Glass With Ice Add:
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Triple Sec

Shake & Strain into chilled cocktail glass
Garnish: Lemon Twist

I have seen bartenders make them several different ways though, many make it as a shooter.

Another variation I was taught:
Shot glass of Absolut Citron vodka (chilled)
Sugar
Lemon

Drink this one like the old Tequila shots. Lick your hand between the thumb and forefinger, sprinkle it with the suger. Lick the suger off your hand, slam the shot of vodka back and bite the lemon. Wow....

No, that looks very different in flower and stem from TLD. TLD is very compact and has fuzzy branches with a greyish tint, and the blooms have very little white on the edges. Smells like sharp lemon, too.

I think it is all the same plant and it is a baccatum. However, there might be different strains of the same thing with slightly different sizes to the peppers. Limon looks like lemon but Limon is really also a town in Coata Rica where they grow and ship hot peppers and can refer to something different. I think the Limon can be a chinese type when it comes from Limon, Costa Rica. But I think the Limon is a red color and looks more like a standard habanero type and not at all like the yellow lemon color baccatum. The Aji Limon name will refer to the yellow baccatum which is also called the Lemon Drop.

Looking at the pictures you posted, I see the foliage is receiving direct sunlight, but the soil in the container is not receiving sunlight. Your tree's annual winter leaf drop could easily be caused by a problem called Winter Leaf Drop (WLD). When a tree's foliage is in direct sun, the leaves become over heated and need to transpire moisture to cool.. However, is the root system is to cool the roots cannot supply the needed moisture for transpiration. Therefore, the only option the tree has to cool itself is to discard the leaves. For container citrus trees, if the foliage is receiving direct sun, the container also needs to receive direct sun, or be heated by some artificial means. You should be able to find much information on this forum or the Internet about WLD and citrus. - Silica
