Italian Limoncello Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• In a pint glass, add a few ice cubes, lemon pieces, basil, grappa and limoncello and muddle. Add in simple syrup, stir and strain into large ice filled glass. Top with club soda and garnish with fresh basil.

Steps:

• Wash 4 unwaxed lemons in hot water.
• Dry the lemons and cut 10 thin strips from the rind to garnish the cocktails.
• Mix together the 14 oz Limoncello and 7 oz Vodka.
• Add some ice cubes to 10 champagne glasses.
• Divide the Limoncello-Vodka mixture between the 10 champagne glasses.
• Top off each glass with the Tonic water. In this step, you can determine the strength of the cocktail. For a stronger cocktail, add less tonic. For a weaker cocktail, add more tonic.
• Garnish with the lemon strip.
• Serve with a straw. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Zest lemons, making sure to get the outermost part of the skin and avoid the white pith.
• Place lemon zest in a glass bowl and cover with alcohol. Cover and let infuse at room temperature until yellowish in color, about 7 days.
• Bring water and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove syrup from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
• Pour alcohol into the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer; discard lemon zest. Stir well.
• Pour limoncello into thick, freezer-safe glass bottles. Store in the freezer for at least 2 weeks before serving.
