Dillon's Small Batch Limoncello

Dillon's Small Batch Limoncello is the Ontario distillery's take on the classic Italian lemon liqueur, bottled at 30% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It starts with Dillon's 100% Niagara grape spirit base, in which fresh lemons and lemon peel are steeped along with cardamom and lemon verbena. It is deliberately less sweet than a traditional limoncello, with about half the sweetness, and the label describes it as lightly sweetened with a tart lemon finish, so it drinks more like a grown-up lemonade than a syrupy digestif. That makes it a natural after-dinner sip as well as a bright mixer.

Tasting Notes: Fresh lemon and peel, lightly sweet, with a tart finish.

Serve: Serve chilled after dinner, or mix into a Limoncello Mule.
