This is Why You're Drunk: Limoncello Martini

My wife came home the other night from her sister's house with a gigantic bottle of Limoncello liqueur - seriously, the bottle was like 24" tall! Anyway, the sister couldn't fit the bottle in her freezer, so we get it. Apparently, we're known for the size of our freezer.

I immediately start thinking, "How can I use this liquor?" A quick internet search revealed porn, porn, and more porn. A deeper search revealed a bounty of recipes for Limoncello martinis. I used those, and made a better one:

Ah, refreshing lemony goodness

Badass Limoncello Martini

1. Pour everything into your cocktail shaker. Affix top.
2. Shake the shit out of it.
3. Pour into martini glasses. Garnish with a thinly sliced lemon wheel in the glass

Simple Syrup
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water

1. Put both ingredients into a small saucepan
2. Heat & stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture just begins to simmer
