Limoncello's sweet-tart flavor and rye whiskey's peppery kick combine with lemon juice to make a pleasantly tart 3-ingredient Limoncello Rye Whiskey Sour. It's the perfect grown-up summer drink!
Ingredients
3 oz. Rye whiskey
2 oz. Limoncello
1 oz. Fresh Lemon juice, from 1 lemon (or less, to taste)
Ice
Splash Club soda, optional
Directions
Chill two lowball glasses in the freezer.
For garnish, zest a strip of lemon. Using a citrus juicer, squeeze the lemon into a small basin. Set aside the liquid.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Combine the rye whiskey, limoncello, and lemon juice in a mixing glass.
Shake vigorously for approximately one minute.
Take the glasses out of the freezer. Fill the cold glasses with extra ice and strain the cocktail into them.
If preferred, add a dash of club soda and garnish with lemon zest. Serve and have fun!
