Details
'We think this delightful small batch liqueur is the best limoncello you will taste'. That's how Justin and Lana Bell describe this wonderful limoncello, and you'd be hard to argue given how simply delicious the deliciousness. Made with QLD lemons and Northern Rivers cane sugar, this lemony, gloriously tangy and lively limoncello feels so wonderfully Italianate, yet absolutely Aussie in its generosity and freshness. Just pour over ice and every day feels more summery!
There are no corporate investors or multinational backers at Familiar Spirits. Just the husband and wife team, Justin and Lana Bell (and their four daughters). Justin works as head distiller, and Lana on all things creative, with all of the spirits made on the Gold Coast. As the couple explains, the Familiar Spirits adventure is 'a culmination of our love of entertaining, gardening and good times with friends & family' intending to craft something that will last (and produce a few interesting drinks along the way). What we like about the Familiar Spirits range is that it feels a little different. A few quirks of ingredients and styles make these beautifully packaged spirits a real delight.

Pairing guide
Limoncello is one of Italy’s great gifts to the world of spirits, and Familiar Spirits have done a fabulous job of capturing that irresistibly zesty character in their home-grown release. When it comes to food pairing, you’ll want to bring out the classic Italian desserts for this one… albeit with a few twists and turns along the way. We reckon it’s great with a panna cotta featuring exotic fruits, as well as with lemon cannoli, ricotta pies and tiramisu. It also contrasts very nicely with salty aged cheeses, marinated olives and even with margherita pizza!
