Luxardo Limoncello

An artisanal and authentic Italian Spirit.

Luxardo is a small producer in Northeastern Italy, near Venice and just west of Padua. But in our opinion, it is also one of the most influential and important companies in the Spirits business. Without their contributions, the world of cocktails just wouldn’t be the same. From specialty Liqueurs and Bitters to the famous Original Gourmet Maraschino Cherry that is heads and tales above the dyed candy drops served in common bars. The company was founded in 1821 by family patriarch Girolamo Luxardo and the company is still run by family members unto the seventh generation.

Based on the original family recipe from 1905, Luxardo Limoncello is a natural and artisanal Spirit. This authentic Italian lemon Liqueur is super popular in Italy to this day and it’s enjoyed neat or chilled but people also like to drink it with soda or tonic water at Aperitivo o’clock. The Spirit is infused with peels, pulp, and juice that bring out the natural aromas and the bright citrus taste of lemons from southern Italy. If you want to really mix things up, add it to a London Dry Gin and garnish with fresh thyme. And you’ve got yourself a Cello Gimlet. For more recipes, you can check out their official website.
