Moscow Mule

Upon visiting the grocery, it occurred to me that it's a high season for the citrus.
Bought three of them, and juiced them all. This is the rare occasion where I actually use the real juice with the exception of Mojito.

As searching for the perfect recipe using this fresh and fragrant lime juice, I realized, simple recipes should do the best with this nice juice.

Oldies but Goodies. The well-known birth story of this cocktail includes the marketing of Smirnoff vodka for US. Well, it's pretty damn good to be the ad hoc recipe.

Build over ice
2 shots of vodka
1 shot of lime juice
3 dashes of Angostura Bitters

Top it with club soda.

Goooood :)

Amalfi Dream

Ah, what was I thinking when I mindlessly picked up the limoncello.
I didn't have the slightest idea how sweet it will be and how it will lack of tartness.
I just couldn't resist the name of lemon and alcohol.

Smell of the liquor was just as good as I imagined, but the taste is too sweet for me.
However, this is the best yet recipe for me using the liquor.

Should try it with ice cream someday.
