Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of lemonheads, marzipan, vanilla wafer, lemon trix, and bergamot with a syrupy, crisp, fruity medium body and an interesting, long finish manifesting overtones of lemon candies with lemon pepper and honey simple syrup with garden herbs. Rich and lemony with a hint of herbal zest this will make a delicious after dinner drink or pleasant modifier for a lemonade long drink.

Limoncello Liqueur

Spirits Glass Copita Ruby.jpg
Serve in a Copita
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.
