My trip to Sorrento, Italy (Check out my Travel Guide to Sorrento, Italy here) gave me a lot of great memories to reminisce—idyllic landscapes, historic hotels, fun Italian cooking class, a dreamy dining experience by the Terrazza Vittoria, and my first sip of a martini with Limoncello (think of it as a Lemon Drop martini with Limoncello!). Combine all these wonderful memories with a desire to recreate an authentic Italian-inspired dinner with my girlfriend this weekend… and here we are!
There’s just something about the Limoncello Martini that gives me a big dose of nostalgia—it transports me back to those happy moments I spent in Italy overlooking the Amalfi coast. It was easily one of my favorite trips to-date and I just cannot WAIT to shake up a similar cocktail for our weekend festivities! So join me as I share how to make a Limoncello Martini at home! You can complete this drink by using the quality cocktail shaker set by Charles Joly, a world champion bartender, or the charming Koviti cocktail shaker set!
LIMONCELLO MARTINI RECIPE

– 1½ oz Skyy Citron Vodka
– 1½ oz Pallini Limoncello
– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
– 2 tsp simple syrup

DIRECTIONS
Moisten the rim of your cocktail glass (love these!) with a cut lemon and then dip the rim in sugar. Next, fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add vodka, Limoncello, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake well and strain into prepared martini glass. Garnish your cocktail with a thin lemon slice float and enjoy!
Cheers!
