History

Created by David Teager, a fellow Discerning Drinker who shared this recipe via a comment on our Procrastination cocktail page (which is the same but with Green Chartreuse added and the measures of the vermouth and limoncello reversed.)

Review

A Dry Martini with a freshening zesty lemon burst, courtesy of limoncello. Don't let the generous splash of limoncello deceive you into thinking this is a sweet cocktail. It is surprisingly dry with the spirituous bite of a proper Martini.

Nice clean taste, I personnaly added a squeeze of lemon juice just to round of the sweetness of the limoncello. Good pre dinner summer’s evening cocktail.

this probably requires an ultra chilled glass, the first few sips were fantastic but I thought it got a bit too lemon-y after that, which I'm attributing to the temperature

A nice Martini version with the Limoncello aftertaste.
Not going to win awards but enjoyable as a first drink to clean off the taste buds.

Really enjoyed this Martini riff. A nice, dry cocktail, with a great subtle lemon finish. Will have to add it to the rotation.

As a cautionary tale I share the sorry fact that I initially made this with Finnish Arctic Blue gin as we didn't have any London dry in the cupboard. I can attest that the recipe says "London dry" for a reason as Finnish Bilberries just do not marry well with Limoncello. On a happier note we have since made this with Tanqueray and what a difference that made! All up a nice riff on a dry Martini and something I will return to from time to time.

Yes, we prefer Bombay for this instead of some of the fancier gins that we use for martinis.

Simon, I made this with the above recipe, which was sweet. I then read David's comments on the other drink in which he said he reversed the measures of the vermouth and limoncello. It's a different drink, and better.
