Lemon Meringue Martini

March 2, 2015 By Shannah Coe 15 Comments

This Lemon Meringue Martini recipe is sinfully sweet with a pop of lemony tartness! Everyone will adore this amazing limoncello cocktail!

Christin from Blue Crab Martini here, and today I’m excited to share another delicious cocktail recipe with you- my Lemon Meringue Martini. This is truly dessert in a glass!

Lemon Meringue Martini- sinfully sweet with a pop of lemony tartness! #limoncello #lemon #martini | Blue Crab Martini

Happy (almost) spring everyone! Last year my husband and I went to a wine festival in the beautiful little town of St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We sipped on all kinds of wine- red, white, and everything in between- but there was one vendor offering samples of limoncello.

I’m a sucker for anything lemon flavored, so of course I just had to give it a try. It was incredibly sweet but had a nice little kick of tangy lemon- just the way I like it!

Ever since then I’ve had fun experimenting with new ways to use limoncello. Although I’ve made quite a few delicious drinks along the way, this Lemon Meringue Martini surely takes the cake (…err, pie)!

Lemon Meringue Martini

Sweet limoncello combined with fresh lemon juice and vanilla flavored rum makes for the perfect dessert cocktail. As a fun play off of the classic lemon meringue pie, I chose to rim the glass with crushed graham crackers and top it all off with a dollop of homemade vanilla cream. Each sip is like taking a bite of delicious lemon meringue pie.

Although there may still be snow on the ground (at least that’s the case here in Annapolis), this luscious lemon drop recipe is the perfect reminder that spring is just around the corner. Cheers!

Perfectly sweet with a pop of lemony tartness, this is truly dessert in a glass!

Course: Drinks
Servings: 2 martinis
Author: Christin @ Blue Crab Martini
Ingredients
  • 4 oz Half and Half*
  • 6 oz Limoncello
  • 6 oz Vanilla flavored rum
  • 4 tbsp Simple syrup
  • 1/2 Lemon juiced
  • Whipped cream of choice* (I made my own vanilla infused cream- see note below)
  • Graham cracker crumbs for garnish
  • Lemon slice for garnish
Instructions
  1. Rim two martini glasses with crushed graham cracker pieces.

  2. Combine the half n half, limoncello, vanilla rum, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a martini shaker filled with ice.

  3. Shake until chilled and well combined.

  4. Pour the liquid into the graham cracker lined martini glasses.

  5. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, garnish with a lemon slice, and sprinkle with additional graham cracker pieces.

Recipe Notes

*This recipe can be made dairy-free by replacing the half n half with coconut milk. Also, to make homemade vanilla whipped cream, whip about 1 ½ cups of heavy cream and 2 tsp of vanilla extract in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add sweetener of choice to suit your taste preferences. You could also substitute coconut milk for the heavy cream for a dairy-free garnish.

    This sounds so good! I live in New Zealand and I don’t think that we have half and half (so I’m not sure what it is) what could it be substituted with please?

      You can substitute 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup heavy cream or 1/2 each of whole milk and light cream.
