Limoncé®
Liquore di Limoni
Italy is well known for crafting some of
the finest products on Earth. While sports cars, leather goods,
cheese and wine certainly top the list, the nation is also internationally
famous for making limoncello, a remarkably light and refreshing
liqueur made from lemons. It is standard fare on back bars throughout
Europe. Over the past several years, Americans have been discovering
how marvelously wonderful these liqueurs can be. An outstanding
example of which is LIMONCÈ
LIQUORE DI LIMONI.
Made in Trieste, Italy at the renowned Stock
Distillery, Limoncè gets its fabulous flavor from sun-drenched
lemons grown on the Mediterranean coast. The peels of the fruit
are steeped for an extended period of time in pure grain spirits,
after which the infused alcohol is filtered and sweetened. The liqueur
is bottled at 60 proof.
Limoncè is deserving of the critical
acclaim it is receiving. The liqueur looks like freshly squeezed
lemonade and has a wafting, lively bouquet with notes of citrus
and flora. It has a featherweight body that rolls over the palate
and immediately fills the mouth with the zesty, tangy flavor of
lemons. Its a vibrant sensation brimming with life and electricity.
The lingering finish is warming and bittersweet.
The liqueur is tailor-made for American
mixology and can be used to invigorate a wide variety of contemporary
cocktails.
