Tuscan Sunrise

Mixed Drinks with Limoncello , Tequila Limoncello Drinks

You know how you make something better? You pour some limoncello in it! 

The trick is knowing how much limoncello you should pour into it. The answer isn't always "a whole lot." That's a good guess, but doesn't usually work. I took the guesswork out of this one for you, converting a classic into the Tuscan Sunrise.

As you may have noticed, I'm a big fan of drinks with layers of color. Does that make them more delicious. It sure does. You won't convince me otherwise. Try this one and you'll see that it's a solid "9" on the deliciousness scale.

Chilly Berry Margarita

Mixed Drinks with Limoncello , Tequila Limoncello Drinks

Nothing beats the summer heat like this Chilly Berry Margarita. I once had one in Florida at an early dinner (~3:15pm) and received a brief respite from the sensation that I was being deep fried by the Florida sun. Florida isn't for Scandinavians, just sayin'...

Now this recipe makes two drinks, so don't be a stingy lush like me and try to keep them both because they melt. Also, strawberries contain a lot of pesticides so be sure to buy organic if you're feeling ridiculous.

The Ariana Grande

Mixed Drinks with Limoncello , Tequila Limoncello Drinks

Behold, the Ariana Grande...so named because you think it's Mexican but really it's 100% Italian. Actually, it's a mix of both but I'm keeping the name 'cuz it's funny.

Since Mexico stole (and bedazzled) the Italian flag, we're going to return the favor by borrowing a few ingredients from south of the border. Normally I love jalapeños and cilantro like the President loves Puerto Rico, but in this drink the flavors just meld together and work.

I love this photo because it appears to be poured down from heaven (just like Ariana). And if you look closely you can see that even the margarita glass is very excited about this drink.
