Limoncello martini

A sultry Saturday night in the summertime calls for a sweet-tart, citrusy cocktail. This recipe is a slight variation on a version given to me to B's coworker.

Combine 2 oz vodka, 2 oz limoncello, 7 T simple syrup made with 2 parts sugar to 1 part water, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a couple of ice cubes in a shaker cup. Shake well, then strain into a martini glass dipped in a cosmopolitan rimmer (I used this one). 

Garnish with a frozen cherry and blackberry.

Note: If you prefer your drinks less potent (as I quickly realized I do), add cranberry juice to taste.
