You’ll explore how a simple combination of lemons, alcohol and sugar became an icon of the Amalfi Coast, and why citrus has such a central place in Italian food culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll begin with an engaging look at Limoncello’s roots in Southern Italy – the lemons of Sorrento and Amalfi, how families have made and shared it at home for generations, and what makes Italian citrus unique from a flavour and agricultural perspective. Along the way, Erica will unpack the “kitchen science” behind Limoncello: essential oils in the peel, the role of highproof alcohol, bitterness, sweetness and temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, the evening turns hands-on. Each participant will prepare their own mini jar of Limoncello infusion, guided step-by-step through peeling, assembling and understanding the ratios. Erica will then demonstrate how to take a fully infused batch to the finish line by straining and adding syrup, and show you how to turn the finished liqueur into a refreshing Limoncello Spritz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you listen, mix and taste, you’ll enjoy a light, citrus-forward menu designed for easy nibbling: mixed \u003cem\u003ebruschette\u003c\/em\u003e (including tomato with lemon zest and ricotta with lemon and honey), a simple lemon pasta salad with herbs and Parmigiano, and soft Limoncello cookies. The drinks side includes a refreshing Limoncello Spritz and Erica’s own homemade Limoncello served neat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll leave with your own Limoncello infusion to finish at home, a clearer understanding of Italian citrus and Limoncello from both cultural and scientific angles, and plenty of ideas for using this bright, aromatic liqueur in your own kitchen and bar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: bf8e87da-9076-4510-bc48-98985daef5a6 --\u003e\u003cspan\u003e----\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErica Foffi\u003c\/strong\u003e was born and raised in Rome, where desserts were simple, seasonal, and meant to be shared.
