📜 History
The Limoncello Martini is a modern cocktail that pairs limoncello — Italy's iconic lemon liqueur, made by macerating lemon peels in alcohol and long produced in the Campania and Amalfi Coast regions — with vodka and fresh lemon juice. A close cousin of the Lemon Drop Martini, the drink gained widespread popularity in the early 2000s as limoncello spread beyond its southern Italian origins and became a global home-bar staple.
