What is more Italian than this lemon liqueur from the Amalfi Coast? It’s perfect in warm weather since it can be drunk ice cold or at room temperature. Made from steeping Sorrento lemon peels in spirits, then mixing with a simple syrup, limoncello is a popular choice across Italy. Often an ingredient in Italian desserts, lemoncello is also a frequent addition to many types of Italian cocktails. This might include some of its many variants including those flavored with pistachio nuts, cantaloupe, oranges, or strawberries.
As the summer months are nearing I discovered Cinzano, ice and lemon as an aperitif for Sunday Dinner.
It was very refreshing and perfect for the warmer months.
