What ingredients you need to make the cocktail
What I love about this cocktail recipe is that it’s easy, but the limoncello makes it a little special and adds such a refreshing twist! Here what you need to have:
- Limoncello
- Vodka
- Lemonade
- Club Soda
- Ice
The tools required
Since this is a shaken drink and then poured into a glass with ice, you’ll need two tools:
- A shot glass or a jigger
- A cocktail shaker
See? That wasn’t so bad. A few ingredients, two tools and you’re on your way to a limoncello cocktail.
How to make the drink
Shaking a cocktail is super easy! I love a shaken cocktail since it really chills it before you pour it into your glass. If you don’t normally shake a cocktail, after you drink this you may be wanting to have all your cocktails nicely shaken and chilled.
- Add 5-6 ice cubes into your cocktail shaker.
- Pour into the shaker 2 oz of limoncello, 2 oz of vodka, and 2 oz of lemonade. Shake vigorously for a few seconds.
- Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Top with club soda.
- Enjoy responsibly!
I hope you like this as much as I do. There’s something just so refreshing about a lemon drink and since there’s only 2oz lemonade in this it’s not overly sweet. You could also make a big pitcher of this and people can self serve so you’re not playing bartender throughout the whole get together! Or, I love to make a little recipe card and leave it next to the ingredients so your friends or family can easily mix up the drink themselves!
