Oh yeah. Ginger and lemon. Not too sweet, just the perfect amount of sour. And did I mention that this one was invented for me by my husband and my sister in honor of my 50th birthday? Yes. But watch out, it will come up on you quickly. I recommend Canton Ginger Liquor. Keep it on hand in your arsenal, there are many delicious concoctions that can be made with it.
Ginger Lemon Squeeze

1 1/2 ounces vodka

Fill a martini glass with ice and water. Set aside. Fill a shaker with ice. Add vodka, ginger liquor, lemon juice and limoncello to shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, until your fingers begin to stick from the cold. Pour out ice water that is in the glass. Strain cocktail into glass and garnish with lemon. Enjoy immediately.
