This is a little concoction I came up with a few years ago when Brian and I were both living in New York. It was a lazy, around-the-apartment kind of summer day (sans air conditioning, might I add), and we thought we'd have a breakfast martini...just because we could.
I haven't had this drink in quite some time because, sadly, I haven't kept limoncello stocked in our kitchen. I was reminded of it last night when Brian tweeted the recipe in response to a request for creative cocktails.
Our impending trip to Europe(!) has me thinking about limoncello a lot. I have to resist buying it every time I'm in a liquor store. I'm holding out for the local stuff, for which there is a nice roomy space reserved in my return suitcase. This will be the first cocktail on my list when we return, and I'll post a picture then. In the mean time, enjoy!
