Italian Soul, Sydney Sunshine
Manly Spirits Co. — a craft distillery on Sydney's Northern Beaches — makes its limoncello the Italian way, starting with hand-peeled lemons from an orchard on the NSW Central Coast steeped in smooth Australian grain spirit. Then comes the Australian twist: distillates of native lemon aspen and lemon myrtle, botanicals you won't find in any Amalfi bottle, adding a bright, sherbet-like lift to the classic lemon-meringue profile. The award wins followed — Best Australian Fruit Liqueur at the World Liqueur Awards 2019 among them. For liqueur lovers, it's the rare limoncello that tastes like both coasts.
Tasting Notes
Bright, juicy lemon — lemon meringue tart and lemon sherbet — with a native-botanical lift that keeps it from tipping too sweet. Clean grain-spirit base, silky texture, and a zesty, mouthwatering finish.
How to Enjoy
Serve ice-cold straight from the freezer in a chilled shot glass, or pour over crushed ice with a splash of prosecco for a Limoncello Spritz. Excellent drizzled over vanilla gelato.
