A citrus and refreshing liqueur cocktail ∙ Shake ∙ 3 min ∙ 6.2% ABV ∙
The Limoncello Iced Tea is a shaken highball of limoncello, cold black tea, and fresh lemon juice, served over ice in a Collins glass.
45 ml limoncello, 100 ml cold black tea and 10 ml fresh lemon juice.
Brew the tea and let it cool completely first; warm tea melts the ice and waters the drink down. Then shake it with the limoncello and lemon juice, strain into an ice-filled Collins glass and garnish with a lemon wheel.
Yes. The sweet lemon liqueur softens the tannic bitterness of black tea, and a little fresh lemon juice keeps the drink from tasting simply sweet.
About 6.2% ABV as served; the tea makes up most of the volume.
