Lemon Liqueur
Lemon Liqueur is a citrus-flavored alcoholic beverage made by infusing lemon zest or peel in a neutral spirit, often combined with sugar and water to balance the tartness. One of the most famous varieties is Limoncello, originating from Italy, particularly popular in the southern regions like Amalfi and Sorrento. The bright, zesty flavor of lemon liqueur makes it a popular choice for sipping chilled as a digestif, mixing into cocktails, or using as an ingredient in desserts and other culinary creations. Its vibrant lemon taste provides a refreshing and aromatic experience.
