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.
