Limoncello

An Italian lemon liqueur, traditionally made by macerating lemon zest (specifically the zest, not the juice, which would add unwanted acidity and cloudiness) in high-proof spirit, then sweetening with sugar syrup; a Southern Italian specialty, and one of the most popular liqueurs for home producers to make themselves.

Profile

Bright, lemon zest character, sweet.

Limoncello, well-chilled, after an Italian meal is a reliable classic.
