• Howick and Botany Times
A taste of Italy – Lemon Zest – has just been released by Marlborough’s Prenzel Distilling Company.
Light, sweet and smooth, this new product has none of the sourness often associated with lemons and is styled after the popular European drink, Limoncello, traditionally made in Southern Italy.
Prenzel distiller Hayden Johnstone says the distinctive character of this Limoncello-style liqueur is derived from the zest (peel), rather than the juice of lemons. “Lemon Zest is made from Marlborough-grown lemons with the whole production process taking anything between four and six months. The new product, at 32% alcohol, has a flavour quite different from Prenzel’s tangy, juice-based Citron Ice and is now a permanent feature of our Prenzel range.”
In Italy, Limoncello is traditionally served as a digestif drink before a meal. Lemon Zest is designed to be more versatile and asks to be enjoyed at any time of day. Serve crisp and chilled from the freezer over ice, or add soda for a long refreshing thirst quencher. For something with more bite add to vodka or champagne.
To check out this refreshing new product, perfect for summer drinking, visit the Prenzel Shop in Town Centre Drive, Botany Town Centre or Prenzel of Whitford, 7 Whitford Wharf Road, Whitford Village Centre.
