Distiller Notes
The peels of Sicilian oranges are soaked with sugar and orange juice in pure grain alcohol to make Caravella Orangecello. A tangy twist on the original, this crisp, refreshing liqueur has traditionally been served ice cold and sipped "neat" but adds a bright, sweet taste to many cocktails and is unrivaled on a hot summer night.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
