Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces non-alcoholic limoncello substitute or homemade lemon syrup
- 1.5 ounces non-alcoholic spirit alternative (e.g., non-alcoholic vodka alternative)
- 0.75 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.25 to 0.5 ounces simple syrup (optional)
- Granulated sugar (for the sugared rim)
- Ice
- Lemon twist or wheel (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Martini Glass: Chill your martini glasses by placing them in the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes or filling them with ice water while preparing other ingredients.
- Create the Sugared Rim: Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of granulated sugar onto a small, flat plate. Take a lemon wedge and run it around the entire rim of your chilled martini glass. Invert the glass and dip the wet rim into the sugar, twisting slightly for an even coating. Lift the glass, tap off excess sugar, and set aside carefully.
- Combine Ingredients in a Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice. Add 2 ounces of your non-alcoholic limoncello substitute, 1.5 ounces of your non-alcoholic spirit alternative, and 0.75 ounces of freshly squeezed lemon juice. If desired, add 0.25 to 0.5 ounces of simple syrup.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid on your cocktail shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the shaker feels cold and condensation forms on the outside.
- Strain and Serve: Remove any ice water from your chilled, sugared-rimmed martini glass. Place a cocktail strainer over the shaker and carefully strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a lemon twist or a thin lemon wheel. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing non-alcoholic Limoncello Martini!
