Cocktail in a can: Limoncello
A glass of limoncello – its cheerful yellow hue from the zest of fresh lemons – is enough to brighten any dull day. Now, it comes in a can.
Great innovators, the Van der Plas family at Sovrano Limoncello in Christchurch have taken the spritz cocktail of limoncello, sparkling wine and soda water, and put it in a convenient can that is as delicious and sunny on the outside as is the beverage inside. Of course, you could mix this drink yourself but why not just crack open a can?
“In the Limoncello Spritz, zesty lemon meets crisp bubbles for a perfectly balanced spritz that’s refreshing from the first sip to the last,” says Nina Campbell of Sovrano Limoncello. “It is best served chilled straight from the can or poured over ice in a wine glass. You might garnish with a fresh lemon wheel or a sprig of mint for an elevated touch. Perfect for effortless entertaining and it is available on our website.” From picnic to beachside barbecue, to relaxing on the deck at home, this drink meets you where you are.
The team at Sovrano Limoncello won’t be sitting on their creative hands for long either. They’re planning other innovative products for the future – stay tuned for the next new liqueur creation to be announced soon.
