Perfect Sumertime Libation


I’m calling this a Lemontini.  I’m sure it’s not original, I’m just too lazy to research to see if it’s already out there. Recipe: 1 oz Lemocello (I keep our bottle in the freezer) 2 oz Vodka – I have been enjoying Stoli Elite lately, but Goose and Ketel One are also good choices Tblsp […]
