Raspberry’s New Squeeze.

A citrusy Italian digestif with a twist of raspberry sweetness. The Limoncello is traditionally sipped straight as a post dinner treat, but you can enjoy it however you see fit. Rules and traditions are made to be broken. And as you’ve probably noticed, this new iteration is anything but traditional.

PREPARATION:

First, let’s gather all needed ingredients: 24 oz. fresh raspberries, 8-10 Lemons, 1 bottle (750 mL) Everclear® and 25 oz. simple syrup. If you don’t have simple syrup on hand and want to make your own, check out our simple syrup instructions.

Microplane the zest from the Lemons. Combine lemon zest with Everclear® in a large, sealable container and let steep in a cool, dry place for seven days, shaking daily.

Once steeped, strain off lemon zest and add raspberries. Muddle thoroughly and let steep again for 48 hours. After your infusion has fully steeped, strain out any raspberry solids using a fine mesh strainer. Mix in simple syrup to dilute, then bottle and enjoy.
