Massa is the Limoncello I’m about to take with me to Valencia Wine Co.right now. The bottle says “Limoncello is now the ambassador of the Italianlifestyle.” And it’s organically produced. I’ll try and save you some…
That little teaser warranted quite the response from thirsty Facebook friends. After about 30 comments I did find a site that provided both recipes for Limoncello cocktails and in food. Scroll to the bottom of this post if you don’t want to read the shenanigans leading up to it.
Kristine: Eve,this is our favorite, we brought back some from Positano, did you getthis in SCV? If so, where…please we love this stuff.
Carmen: You know my dad produces Limoncello, he lives in the Abruzzese Area. That’s middle Italy!
Kristine: Carmen: My husband and I tried making it – it was ok, but a bit thickerthan the original Limoncello we purchased in Italy. If your dad has agood recipe,is he willing to share?
Eve: Iread about it in a Trade magazine and found it at our local Bev Mo onthe Old Road Kristine. Carmen – do you know if his brand is availablein the US? (But I’d love to be able to make it too!)
Also, Igotta run to my wine event but…anyone have any good recipes forLimoncello? The article mentions food but I was also wondering aboutdifferent drinks, like maybe a Lemon Drop w/o that sugar rim.

Cindi: I would LOVE to have more recipes using Limoncello, and I would lose my mind if I had a home recipe and could make my own.
Vinovskis: Carrabba’s makes a wonderful “Citrotini” with Limoncello. I believe therecipe is equal parts of Limoncello, Triple Sec and sweet and sourmixer. Shake with ice and serve in a martini glass. Fabulous.
Carrie: I put Limoncello in my lemon drops.
Shawnda: Omg….Limoncellois addictive, as is orangecello! We use it for everything…straightup, cocktails, amaaaaizing to use in baked goods. Cakes and cupcakesfresh out of the oven….poke some holes in those puppies and dribblesome limon or orangecello in there. So delicious.
