Here’s a cool twist on a classic - and thats to say a very large twist. You know mulled wine right? Well, at limoncello we wondered what the result would be if we just used lemon instead of the subtle infusions of various citrus fruits.

The result was something really special - lemon mulled wine - here’s the process and recipe for those of you feeling adventurous:

Pour 10 ml of honey, 150 ml of dry white wine and 20 ml of limoncello into a milk pitcher

Add couple cardamom seeds, lemon and orange zests

Stir while heating, but do not bring to the boil

Fine strain into an glass

Garnish with a stalk of lemongrass

And voila, a very special limoncello mulled wine - a limited time winter addition to our cocktails menu!

The word panettone translated into english means "large cake" - and when it comes to our panettone, raffle the winner will be the proud owner a particular fine example.

The “Maximus”, made by panettone aficionados, Fiasconaro, weighs in at a hefty 5 kg. Considering that by usual metrics, a large panettone comes in around the 750 gram mark, this really is a monster by anyone's standards.

If you want to be the talk of the town and have the chance to stagger away this ludicrously large panettone all you need do is follow the instructions on this post. The lucky winner will be announced at our little soiree  we’re holding for the opening of ‘The Sunset Garden’ which you can find out more about here - <https://limoncello.co.uk> - Good Luck!
