Limocello Drink Recipes Limoncello Della Campania’s artisan production, made by the Petrone family for over 100 years, on the Campania coast is 100% all natural, with no additives or preservatives, from the tradional recipe of infusion of lemon peels. Enjoy well chilled before a meal, as an apertif, or after dining, as a digestif. Below you will find numberous other ways to enjoy the authentic flavor of our Limoncello. Limoncello Tall Drinks Fill a Collins glass with ice and add one ounce of chilled limoncello. Top off with your choice of: • Water • Unsweetened iced tea • Lemonade • Club soda or sparkling water • Cola • Cranberry juice • Tropical fruit punch For a slightly fancier presentation, serve garnished with a thinly sliced lemon wheel. Fresh berries also make a good garnish with water, lemonade, or club soda. Frosty Lemon Martini • 3 oz. citrus vodka • 1 oz. limoncello • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice • Sugar and lemon wheel for garnish Rim a chilled cocktail glass with sugar and set aside. Combine vodka, limoncello and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake briskly to chill. Strain into the prepared glass, and garnish with a lemon wheel. Cocktail tip: Most people are used to seeing glasses rimmed in bars or restaurants. The bartender will swipe the edge of the glass with a lime or lemon, and dip the glass into salt or sugar. It’s quick and easy, but it also ends up with the edging dropping into the cocktail. Instead of dipping, roll the edge of the glass so that the edging sticks only to the outside. The Paradiso Part Screwdriver, part Martini, the Paradiso is cool and sophisticated. • 1.5 oz. orange vodka • .5 oz. limoncello • .5 oz. Aperol or Campari • 1 oz. fresh orange juice • Dried cranberries for garnish Combine all ingredients except the dried cranberries in a shaker with ice, and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with dried cranberries, either skewered on a cocktail spear or floated on the drink. Bacio del Limone Italian for "lemon kiss," this fluted drink is every bit as simple as the tall drinks, but with an elegant presentation that makes it festive. • 4 oz. sparkling wine (chilled) • 1 oz. limoncello (chilled) • Crushed ice • 5-6 fresh blackberries, raspberries, or currants Place a spoonful of crushed ice in a fluted glass and top with the fresh berries. Combine the sparkling wine and limoncello in a mixing glass and stir lightly just to mix, being careful not to destroy the bubbles. Pour the mixture over the berries and ice. Limoncello Sunrise Inspired by the classic Tequila Sunrise, this limoncello drink recipe is a nice change from a Bloody Mary or Mimosa for brunch. Using a liqueur instead of spirits like tequila or vodka keeps the alcohol content low. • 1 oz. limoncello • 3 oz. fresh orange juice • Splash of grenadine Fill a tall glass with ice, and add limoncello and orange juice. Stir to combine. Add a splash of grenadine but do not stir, allowing it to settle to the bottom. Serve garnished with an orange slice. Lemon Highlander • 1 oz. Scotch • .5 oz. Drambuie • .5 oz. limoncello Build in a rocks glass over cracked ice. Stir, and serve garnish with a twist of lemon.
