Italian Limoncello Margarita
2 ounces limoncello
1 ounce grappa
½ ounce lemon juice, fresh squeezed
Sugar (optional)
Kosher salt (optional)
Lemon wedge 

In a cocktail shaker, mix limoncello, grappa, and lemon juice with ice. Strain and serve in a chilled cocktail glass.  This may also be poured over ice.  If you're going to sugar or salt the glass, take your lemon wedge or a bit of limoncello and rub around edge of glass. Turn upside down and press rim into sugar/salt.

Creme Fraiche
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup cultured buttermilk

Pour ingredients into a clean sterile jar with cover and shake to combine well.  Allow to sit at room temperature overnight or until mixture begins to thicken. Shake and refrigerate.  Use within one week.
