Notes
Sweetness level: If your limoncello is very sweet, consider adjusting the amount of simple syrup. Add ½ ounce first, shake, then taste it. If it still needs more, you can add another ¼ or ½ ounce. You may also use a simple syrup substitute such as sugar-free simple syrup.
Garnish ideas: lemon twist, lemon slice, lemon wedge, dehydrated lemon slice, candied lemon slice, lemon sugar rim
Variations:
- Use a flavored syrup (like rosemary simple syrup, thyme syrup, or basil simple syrup) to add some herbal flavor to this cocktail. You can also use an herbal gin instead of vodka.
- Make an orangecello martini. Use orange juice and limoncello’s sister that's made with orange peels for a fun twist on this drink.
