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.

Instructions

1Fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice and add the limoncello and vodka. Shake to combine.
2Add the soda water and stir to mix in. Pour into a rocks glass and top with the torn mint leaves.

Jennifer Colliau, bartender at San Francisco's Heaven's Dog and owner of Small Hand Foods, loves using mint in her drinks, but she warns home bartenders against using wooden muddlers with this delicate herb. Use a spoon instead, lest you end up with a drink that tastes like toothpaste. This tip will come in handy when you're making your next Mojito.
