Cheers: Lemontini

With Mother’s Day this weekend, you and mom can relax with a delicious dessert drink after your day out together. The Lemontini is relatively simple to whip up, with the sweet and sour flavor of lemoncello and delectable sting of vodka. You can pretty it up with a twist of lemon and a colored sugar rim for some extra-special flair.

Ingredients:

3 oz vodka

splash of lemoncello

lemon twist for garnish

Directions:

Pour a splash of lemoncello into a frozen cocktail glass. Swirl the liqueur around in the glass until all surfaces are coated. Shake the vodka in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Throw away any excess lemoncello in the glass. Strain the shaken vodka into the coated cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
