One of the things I bought was a bottle of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tessora-liqueur.com\/home.php\">Tessora-Limone<\/a>, a creamy lemon digestif made by a local couple from a 200 year old Italian family recipe. \u00a0For some reason this bottle got pushed to the back of our liquor shelves only to be re-discovered a few weeks ago. Since then, I\u2019ve fallen in love with the sweet, refreshing liqueur and have been trying to think of delicious cocktails to put it in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Death of Sweet Mister<\/strong><br \/>\n1.5 oz Tessora Limone<br \/>\n1 oz Raspberry syrup<br \/>\n0.5 oz Mount Gay rum<br \/>\n0.25 oz Frangelico<\/p>\n<p>Combine ingredients and shake well with ice. \u00a0Pour into a coupe and garnish with a lemon peel and fresh raspberry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTES<\/strong>: My initial reaction was HOLY CRAP THIS TASTES LIKE A CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SUNDAE. Like&#8230;dangerously so. Surprisingly though, it wasn\u2019t too cloying. This would be an excellent dessert drink as I\u2019m not sure I could have more than one at a time due to the sweetness. \u00a0I think in the future I would either increase the Frangelico to 0.5oz or the rum to 1 oz to make it both a more full cocktail and slightly boozier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raspberry Syrup<\/strong><br \/>\nCrush 1 pint of strawberries in a pan with a wooden spoon until all the berries are broken up. Add 1 cup of water and slowly bring to a boil, occasionally mashing the berries. Add one cup of sugar and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain upwards of 3 times and bottle. Add 1 oz of high proof vodka or neutral spirits to extend the syrup&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right before I left Columbus, I picked up a few bottles of booze from some local distillers in town (Columbus has quite a growing microdistillery movement).
