Method
- Begin by chilling your martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving. A cold glass enhances cocktail presentation and taste.
- Add ice cubes to your cocktail shaker, filling it about halfway. Pour 2 oz of vodka or gin into the shaker over the ice, followed by 1 oz of limoncello. Measure accurately for the perfect flavor balance.
- Secure the lid tightly on your shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. You should hear the ice moving around, which helps chill and dilute the mixture.
- Remove your chilled martini glass from the freezer. Strain the cocktail mixture through the shaker's built-in strainer or a fine-mesh strainer to avoid ice chips in your drink.
- Create a lemon twist by using a vegetable peeler to remove a long, thin strip of lemon peel. Twist it over the drink to release the citrus oils before dropping it into the glass as a garnish.

Notes
Keep everything ice-cold for the best results. If you prefer a sweeter drink, use gin as it complements the limoncello's sweetness. Store limoncello in the freezer for impromptu cocktails. Quality ingredients make a significant difference.
