Limoncello Liqueur

Limoncello is the second most popular liqueur in Italy, and it has recently become popular in other parts of the world. Traditional Limoncello liqueur is made from the zest of lemons, or peels without the pith, then steeped in rectified spirit until the oil is released. The resulting yellow liquid is then mixed with simple syrup. Varying the sugar to water ratio and the temperature will affect the clarity, viscosity, and flavour of the liqueur.

The resulting liqueur is bursting with fresh lemon flavour, thoroughly capturing both the sweet and sour aspects of the fruit. An natural product with no preservatives or additives.

How to consume Limoncello? Drink it after dinner, straight from the fridge! Once open, keep the product refrigerated and shake before serving. How long will it keep in the fridge?
