Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Vanilla vodka
- 1 ounce Limoncello
- 1 ounce Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 ounce Simple syrup
- 1 ounce Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Crushed graham crackers
- 1 Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Prepare the martini glass: Add the crushed graham crackers to a shallow dish. Moisten the rim of the martini glass with a little lemon juice, then dip the rim into the crushed graham crackers to coat. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, limoncello, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and heavy cream.
Add the ice cubes to the shaker, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until well chilled and creamy.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
Prepare the meringue topping: Using a handheld mixer or whisk, beat the egg white and sugar in a small bowl until soft peaks form. This step can be done quickly if you prefer a simple hand whisk method.
Spoon or pipe the meringue over the martini, creating a small mound.
With a kitchen torch, carefully toast the meringue until golden brown (optional but adds a classic finish).
Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest on top, and serve immediately.
