Limoncello: When Life Gives You Lemons...

You're driving down the winding and scenic Amalfi coast in a classic roadster convertible, with the Mediterranean sun gently kissing your cheeks. Another sharp turn, and a sudden jolt. You wake up...

And just like that, you're back right smack in the center of reality, a million miles away from the Amalfi coast. But no worries. A sip of Limoncello does the trick. The traditional Southern Italian digestivo, the classic Limoncello captures the sunny flavors of the Mediterranean in every sip. And a few more shots brings you back to the Amalfi coast...

Made from the zest of lemons and steeped in alcohol, the traditional Limoncello is best before and after a meal. Or any other time of day or reason, really.  The oils from the lemon zest are gradually released, imparting a smooth yet rich lemon flavor. Not too tart or sour, just right with the extra punch of vodka. And if you're not currently along the Amalfi coast in a roadster, drop by Opa Mediterranean Cuisine for a shot or two. 

And when life gives you lemons, simply take a sip, and enjoy. More lemons? Absolutely.

Opa Mediterranean Cuisine is located at the Second Floor of the Somerset Millenium, 104 Aguirre Street, Legaspi Village, Makati or call 556-5905 for inquiries and reservations.
