Liquore Camomilla & Lime 70cl - Dennis Zoppi & Distillerie Vincenzi

A liqueur that plays on the contrast between the enveloping sweetness of chamomile and the tonic freshness of lime: on the nose it opens with floral notes of dried chamomile, a light honey and the zest of a freshly peeled citrus.

On the palate it is soft yet taut, the sweet component is well calibrated and supported by a lively acidity that prevents any heaviness; the texture is velvety, the sip goes down clean and finishes with a slight bitter return reminiscent of lime peel. It’s an elegant, unobtrusive style, designed for those who seek balance rather than brute intensity. It is best enjoyed chilled, with a few ice cubes to enhance the citrus, but it also integrates well in mixing, where it can add personality to light cocktails or reinterpretations of summer long drinks. In the kitchen it finds a place on cream- or ice cream–based desserts, or as a finishing touch on a fruit salad; the 70 cl format is practical for home use and for small venues that want to offer something different and fragrant.
