About Limoncello Sour
Limoncello Sour is a fresh and bright cocktail that’s become a favorite for summer. With tangy lemon and sweet limoncello, it’s perfect as a pre-dinner drink or for cooling down on a warm evening. Think of it as an Italian twist on the classic lemon sour.
So how do you make a Limoncello Sour?
It’s simple. You’ll need limoncello, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white if you want a soft foam on top. Start by shaking everything without ice to build the foam, then add ice and shake again to chill the drink. Strain it into a chilled cocktail glass and serve.
Some people call this kind of limoncello cocktail a Capri Sour. Swedish bartender David Kringlund has shown how clean, simple ingredients like this can create something really special. His tip: keep the balance fresh and bright, not too sweet.
A well-made Limoncello Sour tastes like summer in a glass. It’s fresh, light, and easy to love—bringing a bit of Italy to wherever you are.
