Directions

I have a confession to make: I can not stand Limoncello, I can not enjoy the classic Limoncello short after a meal or pour all over creamy ice cream or under a parasol at the seaside.

Or at least that was what I was thinking until now. Even though Limoncello is an intriguing, velvety booze, with that wonderful balance between freshness and that particular lemony sweetness that envelopes your tongue, well, after all, I don’t like it. Have I already said it?

But then, when I was preparing some Mojitos, an old, dusty bottle, buried in oblivion, caught my eyes and I added a drop of this yellow elixir (criminally snubbed for too many years) in the glass and that simple Mojito became a golden dream!

The result is an even more glacial and pungent Mojito with a stronger citrine flavor, less aromatic, but with amazing drinkability. The doses are very similar to the mojito’s ones, but I would remove a little bit of sugar to make it drier, even more refreshing. Adapt the sugar to your liking.

In honor of that little paradise that is the Amalfi coast, we will call this limoncello cocktail Amalfito: yeah, it’s very original!
