Ingredients
2 oz limoncello
1 oz vodka
1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half)
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
0.25 oz simple syrup (optional, to taste)
Ice
Superfine sugar for rim (optional)
Lemon twist for garnish
Instructions
1. Place a martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to chill. If desired, rim the glass with lemon juice and dip into superfine sugar.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
3. Add limoncello, vodka, heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, and optional simple syrup to the shaker.
4. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
5. Strain into the chilled martini glass.
6. Garnish with a lemon twist by expressing the oils over the drink and placing it on top or on the rim.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
For extra froth, try a quick dry shake (without ice) before adding ice and shaking again.
Substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free tropical variation.
Adjust sweetness depending on your limoncello brand and personal taste.
Best enjoyed immediately after preparation for optimal texture.
