11045 Mint “Limonata” Under 5 mins Under 5 mins 1 drink Mon Oct 22 04:01:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 25 11:43:15 -0700 2009 Easy CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11045 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:43:15 GMT A boozy take on Italian lemon soda A boozy take on the Italian soda with mint and limoncello. San Pellegrino’s citrus-flavored sodas offer real refreshment during the hot summer months, so we decided to re-create the taste of the lemon-flavored Limonata with this cocktail. Yes, limoncello is served most commonly as an after-dinner treat, but try it in this cocktail for a refreshing twist.

What to buy: Caravella limoncello is a nicely balanced version widely available in the States. It’s good for sipping as well as for cooking and making cocktails.
