Chef's Notes

Look for lemon- flavored vodka and liqueur (such as the Italian liquore di limoni) in well-stocked supermarkets and liquor stores. For extra frostiness, put sugar-rimmed glasses in the freezer for 7 to 8 minutes.

I made this with Smirnoff Silver (unflavored) and it was still delicious. I used Limoncello and all the other ingredients. Lovely recipe. As for the debate about whether this is a true martini: who cares? Boston Cream Pie is not a pie. I say po-tah-toh, you say po-tay-toh. Mox Nix. It's great no matter what! ;o)
