Origin

Limoncello comes from southern Italy's Amalfi Coast, a regional household digestivo with no single documented inventor. The spritz format follows the same Italian aperitivo template as Aperol and Campari spritzes.

Flavour Profile

Good for someone who wants a tart rather than bitter spritz. Not for someone who wants a bitter, aperitivo-style spritz.

Large wine glass, full of ice.
