The Limoncello collins, “out of the box”, is a super duper sour cocktail. This drink contains a lot of lemon sour, but not a lot of sweet balance making it confusing as if this would be “refreshing” or not, so we’ll leave that part up to you.
What we did do, however, was change it up a bit by adding some sweet component which brings up the gin flavor to something you can realize on your palate.
Using a sweeter Limoncello may have partially fixed this (making it just a super sour drink) but some of the refreshing nature is the balance of sweet to sour and providing some gin-flavor proves it might have been a bit too sour.
