    Origin and history

    Limoncello, a vibrant and zesty liqueur, hails from Italy, with its roots most deeply embedded in the southern regions like the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, and Capri. Traditionally homemade, limoncello is crafted from the zest of Sorrento lemons, steeped in pure spirit until the oils are released, then mixed with a simple syrup. This delightful concoction is said to have originated at the turn of the 20th century, served in small chilled ceramic glasses to welcome guests. Today, limoncello is enjoyed worldwide, sipped as a refreshing after-dinner digestivo, embodying the sun-drenched essence of Italian hospitality.
