This is my version of a lemon martini they serve at The Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons in Boston.
- 1 shot Grey Goose Citron Vodka (colder is better)
- 1 shot Limoncello lemon liquer (ditto)
- 1 shot fresh-squeezed lemon juice (sometimes I add a little lime juice)
Put it all in a cocktail shaker with lots of ice, shake vigorously for 30 seconds and then pour into a chilled martini glass with or without a sugared rim (run lemon around the rim of the glass, then dip it in superfine sugar; refrigerate). Top off with Limonata sparkling lemon soda (found in the Italian foods section of many supermarkets). If Limonata is unavailable you can use simple syrup.
Wow! This sounds like a great “sip out on the deck” in the evening drink but I may not be able to wait until the weather is warm to do that. Thanks for the recipe – I’m stuck in a white wine rut.
I was reminded last weekend that a vodka hangover is infinitely preferable to a white wine hangover. Goodbye, Chardonnay!!!!
italian foods are very tasty and most of their recipes are heart friendly too ‘;.
