How do you drink Crema di Limoncello?

While you can absolutely sip on it straight, I consider Limoncello to be like any other syrup or liqueur, the perfect addition to any lemon flavored cocktail.

How are you supposed to drink limoncello straight?

The most popular and preferred way to enjoy limoncello is by drinking it neat, preferably straight from the freezer. Limoncello is classified as a digestif, typically consumed after a meal to help with digestion. It is sweeter and generally has a lower alcohol content compared to spirits such as vodka or whiskey.

Does limoncello need to be refrigerated?

It’s not necessary to refrigerate limoncello, simply store it like you would other liquors or liqueurs, in a cool, dry place.
