Notes
Some limoncello brands are sweeter than others. If the cocktail tastes too tart or bland, you may need to add a little extra sugar to round out the flavors. Start with 1/4 ounce and add as needed!
Expressing a citrus peel for aroma: point the outer peel (non-pith side) outward facing the drink and gently squeeze the edges so the oils spray out over the top of the drink. This adds a pop of aroma!
Chill your glasses ahead of time in the freezer to keep your drinks cooler for longer. This is one of my favorite tricks in the summer.
Always double-strain shaken cocktails through a fine mesh strainer. This removes tiny ice chips that will dilute the cocktail as it warms.
Try this cocktail with a rosemary garnish or shake with rosemary when preparing—it goes exceptionally well with citrusy cocktails.
