That sunny yellow liqueur, popular as a finisher or aperitif at Italian restaurants around the world—add Limoncello Cocktails to your new DIY list for your bar at home!
Limoncello has always been a popular liqueur, not just in Italy but in various parts of the world.
Whether homemade or store-bought, this liqueur is something that every adult should try at least once!
Make your own limoncello or pick up a bottle and make some delicious limoncello cocktails at home!
The taste is sweet and sour but savory and enjoyable, making it an excellent drink for parties.
It’s also reasonably easy to make; you just need a great batch of fresh lemons, an entire bottle of the vodka of choice, sugar, and a bit of patience.
For 3 to 12 months, you can store your limoncello in the freezer without losing its rich flavor.
Of course, drinking plain limoncello can already be enjoyable for some people.
However, if you’re an adventurous person or love to taste different kinds of bright cocktails, add mixers of all kinds to create a fantastic new and unique taste.
Bourbon? Give Fool’s Gold a try!
Cranberry juice? You might like the Cranberry Limoncello Spritzer.
Whole strawberries and raspberries? The Strawberry & Limoncello Sangria or Limoncello & Raspberry Sparkling Slush Cocktail are tasty and fun that everyone will like.
Gin?
Lime juice?
You bet there’s a limoncello mixture for that!

Garnish it with a twisted lemon rind strip and add a few frozen cranberries as a final touch.

If you want a more “kid-friendly” version of this drink, you can replace the limoncello and sparkling wine with sparkling grape juice!
Pour the limoncello over the ice, follow it with orange juice and then finish it off with grenadine to pull off that gradient sunrise effect.
You can swap the orange juice with pineapple juice and garnish it with a maraschino cherry or an orange slice.
Reposado tequila is highly recommended for this drink, mainly if you’re aiming for an excellent yet affordable margarita mix.

Enjoy your new summer favorite!
12. Fool’s Gold
A classic and simple mixture of straight bourbon whiskey and limoncello garnished with fresh sage and a lemon wheel.
You can never go wrong with a great classic.

You can swap the champagne with sparkling wine, paired with simple strawberry syrup, and then mix it with some limoncello in a champagne glass.
