Reviews
This is my new favorite martini. It is so good.
This has become my favorite drink. All the favors of all the ingredients just goes well together. I have ordered this drink else where and never taste like this! Great recipe
Love It!
Delicious!
I really liked this as did our guest. The lime zest in the sugar really makes it. It is very strong so drink slowly.
I am a bartender and have made this drink for several of my customers when they ask me to “surprise them” and everyone has loved it, myself included!!!!! WONDERFUL… Giada, you absolutely ROCK!
Very Easy To make loved the lime zest on the rim! Sip it and you warm up quick!
ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE FROM GIADA, THANKS
The thing I loved about this drink is that all the elements of the drink flowed together quite nicely, and each stood out on its own. With a lot of cocktails, there’s usually one taste that overpowers the drink, which isn’t always a bad thing! However, I really could taste the lemoncello, the triple sec, even down to the freshness of the lime juice. A truly great drink.
loved this drink. with in one night I had to make 5 batches. thanks
