Straight and classic

​

Limoncello is traditionally served chilled (freezer or fridge) at the end of a meal. By chilling Limoncello, the tones of the alcohol are lowered. The low temperature also increases viscosity making it more pleasant at the sense of touch. Try adding a couple of ice cubes and a few drops of fresh lemon juice to make it a tad dryer. Served generally in a cordial glass or classic flute.

​

Pairing suggestion- Try savoring dark chocolate when sipping Limoncello.
