Tasting Notes

Colour:
Hazy translucent yellow. Note that it contains FD&C Yellow #

Aroma:
Lemon, lemon and more lemon. Sweet. At times it reminds me of lemon scented Pledge.

Palate:
Sweet lemon with a slightly alcoholic taste. Kind of like an alcoholic lemonade. Easy drinking when chilled, nothing complicated.

Notes:
Lemoncello is a nice drink on a hot summer afternoon. Simply serve it over ice or use it with some club soda and mint for a refreshing adult lemonade.

Serving Suggestions :
Limoncello is mostly served chilled, straight up, or on the rocks. It can be used in cocktails, but a fresh lemon sugar sour mix is better suited for cocktails.
