Limoncello

Picture this: It’s a sunny day off the coast of Italy and the taste of a chilled aperitif hits your lips. The bright, tangy, and zesty citrus flavor profile of Limoncello, a sweet Italian liqueur, can transport you straight there with every taste. It’s often described as tart and refreshing with a smooth finish and a hint of sweetness. This is a modern twist on lemon, an everyday flavor, and one of Imbibe’s top-selling flavors in 2022. Limoncello is on the rise and grew by almost 3% in social discussion over the past year and garnered over 82m views on TikTok.1
