How to Drink Caravella Limoncello (3 Steps)

Limoncello packs an intense lemony flavor with a very sugary finish. There's little wonder why. It is made from little more than lemon zests, a neutral alcohol and sugar. It is immensely popular in Italy, and the lemons from the Italy's Amalfi Coast are said to make a particularly pleasing limoncello. It has become fairly common in U.S. liquor stores, and Caravella is a brand that is among the most common. Though it is popular in some cocktails, limoncello is traditionally sipped chilled, on its own.
