Fruity Ingredients Provide Cool Beverages With A Taste Of Italy
Contributed by: NAPSA
(NAPSA) - For those who enjoy cool, refreshing beverages, especially for cookouts, dinner parties or spontaneous get-togethers with friends, two fruity ingredients are available to jazz up thirst quenchers while providing a tangy, tasty twist.
Caravella Limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur inspired by a century-old tradition, can add just the touch to beverages ranging from iced tea and lemonade to Cosmopolitans and Martinis. Based on a family recipe from 1898, Caravella offers the rich flavor of lemons from Italy's Amalfi coast, the birthplace of lemoncello. In addition, Orangecello bottles the taste of Sicilian oranges to offer a sweet, fruity alternative equally appealing for the same beverages.
