Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup sugar syrup, cold
- 4 ounces Tequila
- 2 ounces Limoncello lemon liqueur, chilled
- 1 Lemon wedge
- Salt
- Cubed ice
Instructions
- Pour the lemon juice, sugar syrup, tequila and limoncello in a cocktail mixer or jar. Cover the container and shake to combine the ingredients.
- Spread some salt in a shallow dish wide enough for the rims of your glasses. Cut a slit in the lemon wedge and rub the lemon around the rims of the glasses to wet them. Dip the rims into the salt.
- Carefully add ice cubes to the prepared glasses. Pour the lemon-tequila mixture over the ice, being careful not to knock salt off the rims. Serve and enjoy the drinks immediately!
Notes
- Chill the separate ingredients before assembling the drinks. Or, you can combine the liquid ingredients in a jar and store it in the fridge until it is chilled and time to serve the drinks.
- Salt on the rims is up to you, of course. Feel free to omit it, or even try some fine sugar on the rims instead!
- Looking for a frozen version? Put spirits, sugar syrup and lemon juice in a blender pitcher. Add in about 2-3 cups of ice and blend them on high to make a lemon drop slush.
