"Bright, Smooth, and Unforgettably Delicious."
A smooth, vibrant twist on the classic Italian liqueur — infused with fresh lemons and rich vanilla for a perfectly balanced, refreshing treat, create your own and make it as sweet or tart as you desire. It’s delicious added to cocktails and desserts. We love adding the vanilla to give it a nice, subtle vanilla flavor. Think... limoncello spritzers and lemon tiramisu. Yum!
