A Sweet Summer Serenade: Limoncello Cocktail for the Bright Days

This cocktail makes for a bright and pink cocktail that you need on a Summer day. It's a little bit more intense to make (muddling sorry) however it's so good you'll be happy you did it.

A Sweet Summer Serenade

Limoncello Cocktail

Ingredients

2 oz Limoncello Liqueur

1 oz Lemon Juice

9 Raspberries

Top with Sparkling Water

Garnish: Raspberries

Recipe

In a cocktail shaker, muddle raspberries. With raspberries, I hardly ever use simple syrup to help me muddle. It's already sweet and it's easy to muddle. Choose the softest raspberries and use those to create a nice little raspberry puddle. Add ice. Pour limoncello liqueur and lemon juice. Close and shake until cold (about ten to fifteen seconds). Double strain into a coupe glass. Top with sparkling water.

PRO Tip

Choose a tart lemon. While you may be like what what. You want something to balance the sweetness of raspberry and limoncello. Use the lemon to create a contrast. Also use sparkling water to balance at the end. Too anything can be watered down.
