Sip. Taste sunshine. Repeat. Pittsburgh is home to some of the best locally-made limoncellos worth stocking up on for your next gathering, party, gift-giving, or self-indulgence. Try these fresh favorites!
Kingfly Spirits
As a 2019 SIP Awards and International Spirits Competition Winner in the fruit and berry liqueur category, Kingfly Spirits’ limoncello does not disappoint. Plus, it’s ONLY $22? Sip and cheers to this winner from every [pour] angle!
This vibrant yellow, aromatic liquor will be the next showstopper at your home bar. Plus, stop by in-store to enjoy a limoncello slushie when available — a perfect way to beat the summer heat.
McLaughlin Distillery
Tangy. Sweet. Creamy. Three words you’ll instantly think of when tasting heaven in a bottle. McLaughlin’s creamy limoncello is a 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Winner. It offers a dangerously tasteful profile that stands out from traditional limoncellos.
Try it before or after dinner — there are no rules to enjoy this velvet-like limoncello. However, store it in the freezer for the best drinking conditions!
Lucky Sign Spirits
Lucky Sign Spirits packs a dry punch with its limoncello and adds a unique profile with basil and rye spice.
Stop by Lucky Sign Spirits’ bar and tasting room to sip the summer cocktail lineup, including Patti’s Lucky Lemontini — made with Lucky Sign vodka and Limoncello Reserva, along with a mix of orange, grapefruit, and peach bitters.
Bella Bambini Cello
Bella Bambini Cello thinks outside of the lemon when reimagining cellos with natural ingredients.
Its traditional limoncello is a fan-favorite, but sip tasters should expand their palates with the signature Orangecello or Caffecello, too. These three flavors make great gifts all together!
Wigle Whiskey
Widely known for its extravagant and award-winning lineup of whiskeys, bourbon and more, Wigle Whiskey also bottles limoncello that shines like gold!
It also has subtle notes of lavender and rosemary. So sit back, relax, and savor the hand-crafted beauty from one of Pittsburgh’s most prominent distilleries.
