Limoncello is an all natural limoncello with no artificial flavors or color added. Made with the Verdelli lemons known for their flavorful oils and intense aromatic scent. The lemons are hand peeled to preserve the fragrance and essential oils of this lemon. The lemons skins are then soaked in grain alcohol to release the oils and to add natural color from the lemons. Once the oils and color is achieved, the lemons are then removed and sugar and water is added.
Limoncello is the pride of the Russo Distillery and is produced through a rigorous artisanal production process for three generations. This limoncello is bursting with fresh and intense lemon flavors, thoroughly capturing both the sweet and sour aspect of the lemon. A joy to drink, especially in the summer months.
This product should store in the freezer and shake well before serving. Normally it is served as an after dinner drink and with desserts. You use this product to create hundreds of cocktail drinks, added as a favorite ingredient in dessert receipts, and even added to dishes and sources for increase lemon flavors. It is perfect for marinating seafood, poultry, and food product requiring a pleasant lemon flavor.
