The Art of Traditional Italian Limoncello

The Art of Traditional Italian Limoncello If you've ever been to Italy (or even just an Italian restaurant), chances are you've come across Limoncello—that bright yellow, sweet, and tangy liqueur that makes you feel like you're sipping pure sunshine. But did you know that making traditional Italian Limoncello at home is easier than you might think? Grab some lemons, a bottle of alcohol, and let’s get into the magic of this iconic drink. The Origins of Limoncello Like many great things in life—pizza, espresso, and the art of talking with your hands—Limoncello is proudly Italian. It comes from the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast, where lemons grow as big as your head (okay, maybe not that big, but close). Some say it was invented by monks, while others believe an Italian grandma was just trying to make lemonade but got a little too generous with the alcohol. Either way, we’re thankful for the happy accident!
