Mediterranean Spirit ~ South African Soul.

Limonetta is our take on a Mediterranean-style aperitif — a gin-based, lemon-forward drink built around the things we love about aperitivo culture: citrus, bitterness, balance and good food.

We use real lemon for its bright, zesty character and natural citrus freshness. It gives Limonetta its lively backbone and keeps the drink feeling vibrant rather than heavy.

Then comes a little South African olive oil.

It might sound unusual in a drink, but that's exactly why we love it. The olive oil helps soften the edges of the citrus and brings a subtle richness to the palate, giving Limonetta its distinctive smooth, rounded mouthfeel.

The gin provides the spirit and structure underneath it all, while a carefully balanced bitterness keeps the finish dry and makes you want to take another sip.

The result is bright, bitter, smooth and incredibly refreshing.

ANDRÉ, OUR FOUNDER, ON THE INGREDIENTS + INSPIRATION BEHIND LIMONETTA

The Flavour Profile.

"Limonetta is a tribute to the women who bring us together - bright, generous, and full of sunshine. Think citrus, earthy herbaceous notes, and that unmistakable Mediterranean warmth."

WHY LEMON?

It’s the flavour that brings everything to life! Zesty lemon peel adds freshness, balances the herbs, and creates a vibrant base that ties the whole blend together.

WHY HERBS?

Rosemary and thyme bring depth and earthiness. They mellow the sharpness of the lemon and enhance the softness of the olive oil, grounding the blend with balance and complexity.

WHY OLIVE OIL?

Not what you’d expect in a drink, but it works! It’s infused and then removed, leaving no residue, just a smooth finish. A small detail that changes everything.

Testimonials

What our customers have said :)

From two longtime Aperol lovers... we're seriously thinking about converting! We spent our first Mother's Day without Mom sipping Limonetta - laughing, remembering, and just being together. It was subtle, refreshing, and added so much to the day!
- Gerda R.
Summer in a bottle! I can’t wait to enjoy this delicious and refreshing aperitif all summer long.
- Aimee M.
"If you love a dirty martini, then think you will enjoy this. It's not sweet at all, and has a very unique flavour.
- Britty M.
