this is perfect for a summer drink
We made the frozen lemon drop martinis last weekend and they were delicious! It’s going to be over 100 here this weekend so we’re trying the sgropino! Thanks!
These lemon cocktails are the best recipes- especially the Sgroppino shared with my Sicilian daughter- and oh- it’s a winner! So easy to get creative too and make this anything you want. Thank you for sharing the Italian traditions. If this qualifies for a giveaway- any gift is appreciated.
What a fabulously delicious list. I think I will start at the top and work my way down. Any drink with citrus is first choice in a cocktail.
Sounds like a plan! I’m on my way! :)
i love everything citrus! these sound wonderful. a shame i don’t drink anymore …
Thanks, Sherry! I bet a lot of them you could switch into virgin drinks!
What a lovely collection of cocktails! Perfect for summer. I’m especially intrigued by the limoncello spritz. My sister had one a couple of years back while on vacation on the Amalfi Coast and loved it. I’ve been meaning to give it a try but haven’t gotten around to it. But I need to fix that, maybe this week..
One of my favorites, too, Frank! You’ll love it for sure!
