"Superfine sugar [...], which is more finely ground compared to standard granulated sugar, is sometimes used to sugar the rim of the glass." Since this sentence immediately follows one which directly refers to the process of sugaring the rim of the glass, wouldn't it be simpler to say, "Superfine sugar [...], which is more finely ground compared to standard granulated sugar, is sometimes used for this purpose"?

Done I agree with simplifying the sentence in the manner, which has been performed in the article (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:57, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The Lemon Drop was invented by Norman Jay Hobday, the founder and proprietor of Henry Africa's [...]. The drink was invented sometime in the 1970s by Hobday at Henry Africa's, and was originally served in a cocktail glass." Rather than repeating names and locations, I might recommend rewording this as "The Lemon Drop was invented by Norman Jay Hobday, the founder and proprietor of Henry Africa's [...]. He invented the drink sometime in the 1970s, originally serving it at Henry Africa's in a cocktail glass."

Done I have reworded the content as suggested above, but not verbatim. See diff. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:02, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On that line in the second paragraph of "Overview"; "Additional ingredients may also be used in the drink's preparation."... Is it possible for one of the sources in the article's list of references to be directly cited after this line? I looked through the citations in the immediately surrounding sentences, but I didn't notice any direct mentioning of this. While I'm sure the statement is true, I'd just feel better about verifying the article's compliance with references-related criteria if this were cited.
