Where did Limoncello Originate?

Limoncello is a kind of lemon liqueur traditionally made in Southern Italy. In northern Italy, the liqueur is often referred to as limoncino instead. It is the country’s second most popular liqueur and is generally used as a digestivo as a cold beverage after a meal. Additionally, it is a well-liked homemade liqueur, and a variety of recipes for it can be found online and in print.

Limoncello is produced from the rind of lemons and often has a somewhat cloudy look. This is due to minute droplets of essential oil suspended in the drink, which gives the liqueur its cloudy appearance.

This delicious cocktail tastes just like Italy. Every time you drink this limoncello, you will wish you were walking the streets of Positano and Rome. For now, however, you can settle for this drink and enjoy its glory.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 3/4 cup limoncello
  • ice
  • lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix the sugar and hot water in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves completely. Then, add the lemon juice and the cold water. Stir in limoncello.
  2. Pour the mixture into a pitcher, and leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  3. Fill glasses with ice, then add lemon slices as garnish.

Notes

You can make mocktails without the limoncello and just serve the lemonade. If you want to serve them cocktail-style, add 1 1/2 ounces of limoncello each to those glasses.
