A refreshing Collins of limoncello and gin brightened with lemon and topped with soda.
11 steps, about 5 minutes start to finish.
Prepare the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. You can make this in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 1 ounce of Limoncello, 1 ounce of gin, 1/2 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup.
Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
Assemble the Drink: Fill a Collins glass or highball glass with ice cubes.
Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.
Top off with soda water, about 2-3 ounces, or to taste.
Garnish: Garnish with a lemon slice on the rim of the glass.
Add a sprig of fresh mint for an optional extra touch of freshness.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Limoncello Collins!
“Shake everything but the soda with ice first, then top off in the glass so the fizz survives. Fresh-squeezed lemon really earns its place here against the sweet limoncello.”
