limoncello cocktails

i received a bottle of limoncello, and would like some inspiration for cocktails! i typically like vodka, rum, or gin cocktails.

    I have tried mixing with limoncello but found it difficult to get away from the "lemon pledge" flavor. I know this liqueur is well loved and often homemade. I'm wondering if the store-bought variety is vastly inferior. I tried Luxardo.

    I did come across a twist on the (otherwise pretty boring) Lemon Drop:
    Tuscan Rosemary Lemon Drop
    1 1/2 oz Vodka
    1/2 oz Lemoncello
    1/2 oz Lemon juice
    1/2 oz Simple syrup
    2 spg Rosemary

    Bend rosemary sprig repeatedly and add to shaker with ice and other
    ingredients. Shake until cold and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
    Garnish with a small rosemary sprig.

      I was wondering the same thing, apparently everyone puts it in the freezer and drinks it straight (it is quite good that way).
