About Limoncello Liqueur
Limoncello is one of the most popular liqueurs in the world. Traditionally made by macerating lemon zest in grappa, modern Limoncellos are made by macerating lemon peel, oils, natural or artificial flavors in a variety of base spirits. These liqueurs are a classic after dinner digestivo and also work well in cocktails, pastries and other desserts.
