I love the flavor of lemon, which explains my purchase several months ago of a bottle of Limoncello. I've been wondering what kind of cocktail I could make with it and saw this tonight. Sounds good for the holidays (with a nice big curly lemon twist in it!), and also sounds good for summer, too.
Citrus Temptation
Makes 1 / Recipe from Food Network, Courtesy of Jill Davie
Raw sugar to rim glass
1-1/2 oz. Limoncello
3/4 oz. orange-flavored vodka (I'd use plain vodka rather than buy this kind)
Juice of 3 lime wedges, approximately 3/4 to 1 oz.
Ice
Dip a cocktail glass in a saucer of water to rim. Roll glass rim in raw sugar to coat. [If this would be too sweet for you, just skip rimming the glass.] Pour Limoncello and vodka into shaker with ice. Squeeze and add 3 lime wedges into shaker. Shake well.
Fill cocktail glass with ice. Strain drink into glass.
If I remember, I'll make one of these tomorrow and tell you how it turned out.
