THE AMALFI

• 1-1/2 ounces citrus vodka
• 1/2 ounce limoncello
• 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

• Strain and pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of thyme.

Citrus lovers will love this summery cocktail. The fresh thyme sets it off perfectly, but if you don’t have fresh herbs, a lemon wheel will do.
