There could not be more perfect summer flavors than these! Do I say that about each drink with a slight variation per season? This is heavy on the mint, and that balances out perfectly due to the strong lemon due to limoncello and fresh lemon juice. Enjoy this perfect summer sip!
Mint Limoncello
Serves 20 (in a 10-ounce glass filled halfway with ice)
3 cups packed mint leaves, snapped off stem
½ cup sugar
3 lemons, cut in half, with as many seeds removed as possible
1 cup bottled lemon juice
3 cups limoncello
4 ½ cups vodka
5 ½ cups sparkling water
In a pitcher, muddle your mountain of mint with sugar and lemon halves for about two minutes. Discard lemons.
Add limoncello and vodka, stir, then add club soda and gently combine.
Serve over ice in a long, tall glass. Mint can be served in each cocktail or strained out according to the preference of the guest.
