My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Limoncello Amalfi-tini

Lemon trees cling to the cliffs of Italy's Amalfi coast, where they produce Limoncello, a fragrant lemon liqueur that tastes more of zest than juice. It's also the drink that George Clooney got Danny DeVito loaded on before he had to go on The View. http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/29/danny-devito-hammered-on-the-view/

1.5 oz Limoncello
1 oz Absolute Vanilla
1 oz Grey Goose L'Orange
Squeeze of fresh orange juice
Shake with ice and serve in a martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

For a lower alcohol version add soda, substitue lemon or lime for the orange juice, and serve over ice.
