Tuscan Rosemary Lemon Drop

College Girl's Note:

Creative Cocktail! Soemthing different. Perfect drink for a wedding or other fanciful occasion. Picture everyone on the villa lawn enjoying their drinks--heels kicked off, tes loosened, and laughter fading into the sunset. If you don't have limoncello, increase the lemon juice 3/4 ounce each.
