Limoncello Martini
The Limoncello Martini is a refreshing and vibrant variation of the traditional Martini, capturing the essence of Italian zest with the infusion of Limoncello liqueur. Originating from the sun-soaked coasts of Italy, this cocktail embodies the essence of summer with its vibrant lemony profile. The Limoncello liqueur, crafted from steeping lemon zest in spirits, brings a sweet and tangy complexity to the Martini, complementing the clean and crisp characteristics of vodka or gin. Served chilled and often garnished with a lemon twist, this cocktail is a delightful choice for those seeking a citrusy and sophisticated drink.
