a.k.a. The Bubble-Mint Lemon-JLO
It was my Birthday over the weekend and in the Dinner Club tradition of 2010 I (shamelessly) made myself a signature birthday cocktail. I found the recipe here. Instead of regular limoncello, I used the organic Lemongrass Cello that Kate and Scott got me for Christmas. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe.
LOFT Lemongrass Cello Liqueur
Yum! So many things to love about this beverage...it's chartreuse, bubbly, citrus-y, and minty. I've noticed my mint is up in the yard, and perhaps yours is too. I think this is a very fun use for it. It's something a little different than the average mimosa. I love the lemongrass flavor, but I think regular limoncello would be just as tasty. Consider it for a spring brunch, or perhaps to toast Mom today.
Cheers!

I'm sorry I missed wishing you a happy birthday Jess! (I don't remember anyone's without Facebook telling me!) Hope you had a good one!!!
Happy, happy, happy birthday. This Sparklin' Jesse cocktail sounds almost too good to be true (like you) and I can't wait to try it.
And I think I'll use lemonbalm or maybe pineapple mint instead of regular mint. Nummy.
so pretty! Happy birthday again...so good to catch up a bit today and I can't wait to see you guys in the next month!! Yay!~
Oooh, Fay...GREAT idea using alternatively flavored mints/herbs! I am going to have to give that a try.
