6 Zesty Limoncello-Based Cocktails To Dazzle Your House Parties

Limoncello is an Italian liqueur that is prepared from lemon zest. To make this revitalizing masterpiece, lemon peels are drenched in highly concentrated ethanol or vodka till oil is produced.

The resulting yellow liquid is then blended with simple syrup, leading to the creation of the juicy Limoncello. As preparing this drink is relatively easy, many people prefer to make Limoncello at home, especially on the Southern coast of Italy, in the regions of Sorrento, Amalfi, and Capri, where the drink is believed to have originated.

In its native Italy, Limoncello is enjoyed as both a pre-dinner aperitif as well as a post-dinner digestive. Being rich and flavour-packed in texture and taste, the drink can be consumed neat; in fact, it quite often is. However, it is also a wonderful complement to cocktails.

Bartenders and mixologists prefer Limoncello because its contrasting undertones of sweetness as well as intensity have the ability to elevate a simple cocktail to the next level. And what’s more, it is extremely easy to craft Limoncello cocktails at home!
