A silky, citrusy indulgence with a cheeky name and a luxurious finish.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz limoncello
(A sweet Italian lemon liqueur that adds vibrant citrus flavor. Use a good-quality brand for the best result.)
1 oz vanilla vodka
(Gives the cocktail a creamy, dessert-like flavor. If you don’t have vanilla vodka, plain vodka works too—but consider adding a drop of vanilla extract.)
1 oz half-and-half or heavy cream
(The richer the cream, the silkier the texture. Half-and-half creates balance; heavy cream makes it even more decadent.)
1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
(Balances the tartness of the limoncello and enhances the dessert profile. You can reduce or increase the syrup depending on how sweet you like it.)
Ice
Optional Garnish:
Lemon twist or zest curl
Sugared rim (optional, but delightful)

Instructions:
1. Prep Your Glass (Optional but Recommended):
For an extra hint of sweetness and a touch of glamour, prepare your martini glass by rimming it with sugar.
Start by running a fresh lemon wedge along the rim of your glass.
Dip the moistened edge into a shallow dish of granulated sugar.
Set the glass aside in the freezer to chill while you make the drink—this also helps keep your cocktail cold longer.
2. Shake it Up:
Fill a cocktail shaker about 2/3 full with ice.
Add the limoncello, vodka, cream, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want the mix to chill thoroughly and become slightly frothy for a luscious texture.
3. Strain & Pour:
Retrieve your chilled martini glass.
Strain the cocktail into the glass using a fine mesh strainer for an ultra-smooth finish.
4. Garnish & Serve:
Garnish with a lemon twist or a curl of lemon zest. Not only does it look elegant, but it also adds a refreshing aroma with every sip.
Serve immediately and enjoy this playful, creamy concoction.

Tips & Twists:
Make it over ice: If you prefer sipping slowly, serve it in a rocks glass over ice instead of up (without ice).
Infuse your own vodka: Steep a vanilla bean in plain vodka
