Limoncello Collins - cjs - 09-01-2008 My, these are tasty - But, imo, we needed warmer weather to truly appreciate these and probably feeling better would help also, but they are good! here's the recipe again. Limoncello Collins 16 ounces limoncello 12 ounces gin 8 ounces fresh lemon juice 24 paper thin lemon slices Ice 16 ounces chilled club soda 8 mint sprigs In a pitcher, combine the limoncello, gin and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Press 3 thin lemon slices against the inside of each of 8 collins glasses. Add ice to the glasses. Stir the limoncello mixture and pour it into the glasses. Stir 2 ounces of club soda into each drink and garnish with a mint sprig. Description: "Hatfields. Los Angeles The Collins was most likely named after 19th-century bartender John Collins of London's Limmer's Hotel. The Tom Collins was originally made with Old Tom, a sweet style of gin that's extremely hard to find today." Re: Limoncello Collins - Gourmet_Mom - 09-01-2008 They sure look good! I need to go find the Limoncello recipe. I tried to get some at the ABC store last Friday, but they didn't carry it. I guess I'll have to make my own. I still have trouble realizing that parts of the country have such cool weather already, but I've still got the warm weather to go with them! Re: Limoncello Collins - firechef - 09-01-2008 Cool weather??? It's nearly 90 here today. I know parts of northern Idaho and Montana are getting snow already...looks like the "Old Farmer's Almanac" might get it right this year! This would look good if "strong stuff" didn't turn my stomach just with the smell. I can handle beer and wine but "hard stuff" makes my stomach turn with one whiff.
