Limoncino, also known as Limoncello, is a traditional Italian liqueur made from lemon zest, alcohol, sugar, and water. It originates from the southern regions of Italy, particularly Campania, Sorrento, and Amalfi Coast. The drink is known for its bright yellow color and refreshing, sweet-tart flavor, making it a popular after-dinner digestif.
Typically served chilled, Limoncino is enjoyed in small glasses and can also be used in cocktails or as a flavoring in desserts. The liqueur is often homemade, with families passing down recipes through generations, contributing to its cultural significance in Italian cuisine.
