I have a lemon obsession, it's one of my favourite fruits, it's beautiful to look at and you can do so much with them. My dream holiday is going to the Amalfi coast, one because it's the Amalfi Coast and two, because I will get to go lemon souvenir shopping, this is true.
I grow my own lemons and make my own limoncello, so when it was my birthday this year, I wanted to make something with my limoncello. This was a great cocktail. The limoncello just makes a mojito even better.
This is great party drink as you can make it directly into a jug to make the a large quantity, then pour into glasses and top up with soda water.
So if you love lemon flavoured cocktails, give this a go, it's very refreshing.
