English Spirit Distillery Limongino, 50cl

An English version of the Italian classic. Freshly zested lemons and their juice are combined with top-notch small batch distilled gin, and a lick of English sugar.

Two and a half lemons go into every bottle to produce an intense zesty, juicy, and truly yummy lemon liqueur.

Freshly zested lemon on the nose, intertwined with botanical aromas. On the palate: a vibrant symphony of fresh lemon juice zest and zing, with tart bitter lemon notes balanced perfectly with luscious velvety sweetness. This is less like traditional limoncello and more akin to the best cloudy lemonade you can remember.

Unlike its Italian counterpart this Limongino is a gin liqueur, not vodka based. it undergoes a three-step process of infusing, distilling and sous vide (slow cooking)  to capture all the zesty flavours of the lemons, before blending together with a sprinkle of sugar.

“A superlative British version of the classic Italian drink. Light, fresh and very zingy, with a beautiful zesty lemon flavour. Our panel found it a little tarter and less sticky and sickly than traditional limoncellos, which we really appreciated. The gin is smooth, with a good kick of botanicals. The lovely clean aftertaste makes it very drinkable - perfect for a hot summer day over ice.” - Judging Panel, Great British Food Awards 2020

"A classic bitter lemon style with a generous amount of sweetness and some subtle sherbet notes that are nicely balanced with the fresh acidity. A zesty finish rounds this off in a super-refreshing way." - Judging Panel, IWSC 2020
