It's Friday...

It's been a long, cold, dreary week and I couldn't wait to get home and try one of these Limoncello Martinis.  Kevin treated me to a bottle of Limoncello for Christmas and it's been chilling in the fridge waiting for a day like today. It's very sweet, not sour at all.  So the pure lemon juice in this recipe helps balance out the flavors.  Hope you savor these as much as I did.
Limoncello Martini
  • 2 oz citrus vodka
  • 2 oz Limoncello
  • Juice of 1/2 large lemon
  • Sugar
  1. Rub cut lemon along the ridge of a martini glass.  Dip glass edge in sugar.
  2. Fill a martini shaker with ice.  Add vodka, Limoncello, and lemon juice.  Shake until well blended.
  3. Pour mixture into sugar-rimmed glass, and serve with a lemon rind twist.
