Limacello Collins
An easy, refreshing summer cocktail version of an old favourite. Dressed well, this feisty little number will look fabulous on your table. Serve in a large glass jug to be shared or in a glamorous glass worthy of the Belle Epoque.
The secret of a good cocktail is to ensure the ingredients are well mixed and of good quality. Choose the best dry gin you can afford, and a good quality high bubble soda water.
Argento Limone Limacello uses the highest quality neutral spirit and fresh local limes to achieve our pure flavour and smoothness. You can also use our Limoncello for a sweeter, more classic Collins version.
Ingredients
50ml Argento Limone Limacello
50ml good quality Dry Gin
Fresh mint leaves
Fresh sliced lime and lemon
Ice
Soda Water (approx 200ml)
Method
Fill the glass halfway with crushed or small cubes of ice add a couple of sliced lemons and limes.
Measure out the ArgentoLimone Limacello and pour over the ice. If you do not have a traditional jigger, a medicine measuring cup will do – after all, this drink will make you feel good!
Repeat this step with the Dry Gin.
Add the soda water and stir gently with a long handled metal teaspoon, or a bartender spoon (a good trick to minimise the loss of bubbles is to pour the soda water gently down the spoon handle).
Serving
Garnish with fresh mint. If you are into experimenting, try infusing some fresh sprigs of thyme instead of the mint – just crush it slightly in your hand before popping it in – or add some fresh berries to sweeten it up.
This old fashioned cocktail is all glamour and style. It loves dressing up in a fabulous glass. If it’s a hot day, try chilling the glasses first. Enjoy!
