Paolucci Limoncello (75cl, 30%)

An Italian lemon liqueur from Paolucci Liquori in Sora, Lazio, founded in 1873. It is made by soaking lemon peels in alcohol, sugar and water for a prolonged period, following an ancient Mediterranean recipe. The producer describes it as dull bright-yellow, fresh, fragrant, aromatic and persistent, sweet but never fulsome. Serve it ice-cold, stored in the freezer and poured into chilled shot glasses as a digestif, or over crushed ice as a long summer pour.
