No 960 Apothecary's Limoncello

Freshly harvested organic lemons from the Sorrento Amalfi Coast are the secret of this superb Limoncello. Contrary to popular belief, no lemon juice is used for its production, but only the very finely peeled peel of the lemon, to which as far as possible no albedo (the white under the peel) adheres, as this contains too many bitter substances. The peels, extracted for several weeks with our particularly mild neutral alcohol, are finally rounded off with sugar syrup so finely that sweetness and lemon aroma harmonize perfectly on the palate.

Those who want to enjoy Limoncello in style like an Italian do so as an aperitif or digestif, whereby both the drinking glass covered with a layer of ice (e.g. champagne glass) and the Limoncello come from the freezer. Enjoy ice cold in small sips, exhaling through the nose, allowing the aroma and aftertaste to develop best. But avanti, avanti, finish the limoncello before it gets too warm! Although we recommend this way of enjoyment, our Limoncello is also sinfully good in cocktails or with desserts.
