Our Limoncello-Making Tradition (and Recipe!) - Good Tips. When life hands you lemons, make limoncello—or at least that’s our motto here at OXO. Since the summer of 2011, OXOnians (what we call ourselves here at OXO) have been gathering together to peel lemons and make this Italian digestif.
It originally made its way to our office by way of Leslie Henderson, our National Sales Manager. The idea: to bring the office together, use some of our products (like the Swivel Peeler), and of course, have an excuse to drink together. Leslie was inspired to introduce us all to limoncello after making it with her friends. And the beauty of limoncello-making is you have to do it in two rounds, so you get to socialize twice! Since its first year, the OXO tradition of limoncello-making has grown in popularity and creativity. We also like to keep things in the family, so we use vodka from Prohibition Distillery, co-owned by Brian Facquet (who’s married to Benat Facquet, an OXO Senior Product Manager). Now, let’s make some limoncello! Limoncello Round 1 1. 1. Bacon-Chocolate Crescents recipe from Pillsbury.com.
