Happy Friday All!
Welcome to another “Martini Moment”!
We’ve made it through another week. Now, what’s better than a super fresh delicious cocktail after a long, very hot, week?
Before we get into the drink, I wanted to tell you how to how to make any kind of simple syrup:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar (I use Stevia)
Then add in whatever flavor you want! For this drink today it called for fresh Mint. I let the Mint simmer in the sugar water mixture for about 5-7 minutes, let it cool, and then strain the Mint.
I’ll never forget the first time I had Limoncello. We were wandering around Capri, Italy and it was absolutely everywhere. Obviously I indulged and surly wasn’t disappointed. I’ve been wanting to add it to a drink recipe for a while so that’s what’s happening today!
You know I love to make things fresh and let me tell you this drink is! Believe it or not, this is my first Martini Moment using Gin. Or at least I think it is. I’ve been at this awhile guys. Gin isn’t my favorite liquor however I’m always open to new things and I was really wanting to do a cocktail that would help beat the heat. Here is what I decided on…
what you do:
Just add limoncello, gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a glass filled with ice. Doesn’t have to be a Collins glass I didn’t use one. Rule breaker, I know. Stir with bar spoon and top with soda. Then garnish.
This cocktail is so perfect for these crazy hot days we’ve been having!
