Pour all ingredients in a glass. Stir. Drink.
Lemony Screwdrivers

Never thought of limoncello in a screwdriver. Nice idea.
You know I have limoncello! Of course, we have to try this since sister is here and all.
Now those are two refreshing cocktails! Cheers.
Screw y– no wait, these are awesome! I need to make a bunch of these so I can pretend it’s not snowing up here.
Nice cocktails!
I had a bad experience with screwdrivers in college – have stayed away from them ever since. Limoncello sounds like a good way to class these up.
I just recently made my own limoncello (and a batch with oranges and sarsumas), so I will have to try these! The grapefruit sounds delish too!
Okay you know I’m not a crewdriver person lol. But I have a couple of friends who would LOVE this.
Grand Marnier spiced cookies? Yum!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you loved our Grand Marnier Cookies!
You’re welcome. We can’t wait to make them.
Yummy, yummy, and more yummy!!!
Mmm… Grapefruit juice in a screwdriver. I like the way you think.
Now this is the way to give new twists to the same old cocktail. Grat ideas!
