Win Four Bottles of Award Winning Cello Liqueur!

If you count the number of recipes that I’ve done in the past few years you may have noticed a strong preference for lemon based desserts and foods. We always have a stash of fresh lemons and Mr NQN doesn’t really enjoy the flavour as much as I do so I end up happily drinking and eating all of them. When I was sent a bottle of Cece Limoncello Liqueuer I was excited but slightly scarred remembering a very cheap limoncello I had once drunk which put me off the drink.

The fact that the Cece Limoncello liqueur has attained Silver Best in Class amongst limoncellos from all around the world at the 2010 International Wine and Spirit Competition in London meant that I should not have been worried. The other ones didn’t fare too badly either with Cello’s Passioncello winning silver and Limecello and Arancello winning bronze. They also fared well in the International Review of Spirits Competition 2010 in the United States taking out three Gold medals and a Silver.

I gave the limoncello a try, straight from the freezer over a fat block of ice and it was delicious, not lip pursing bitter it was smooth and heady with the intoxicating aroma of lemon verbena. Cece use local fruit and sugarcane alcohol to produce the liqueurs and they also contain no artificial ingredients. The owner Domenico Cece’s mum Franca used to give glasses of the limoncello to customers at her Bargo Italian restaurant and their enthusiastic reaction gave them the idea to produce it as a standalone liqueur for sale. Now Dom’s wife Teresa makes the liqueur.

Thanks to Cece Liqueur, one lucky Not Quite Nigella reader will win all four bottles of Cece Liqueur worth over $150! That’s a bottle of the fabulous Limoncello (lemon), Passioncello (passionfruit), Limecello (lime) and Arancello (orange) liqueurs so that you can enjoy your festive season! You can also pour them over ice cream or use them in cocktails! ;)

For a chance to win this set, all you have to do is tell me which flavour you like the best and why! Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at Midnight AEST 19th December, 2010. You can enter this once daily. This competition is open to anyone in Australia over the age of 18 (proof of age is required).

***The winner is: Betty T. of Perth!***

Best of luck!

Love,

Lorraine

    Have to say limonchello. It makes me reminisce of a good lemon drop ;)

  • 2. andre | November 28th, 2010 at 6:53 am | #

    for me its all about the passionfruit, its just the taste of an australian summer.ENOUGH SAID!!!

  • 3. Katy | November 28th, 2010 at 6:53 am | #

    Limecello – I’m a sucker for anything lime!

  • 4. Kristy | November 28th, 2010 at 7:02 am | #

    A bottle on limoncello would be a perfect flavour addition for some special new years cupcakes! I know my friends and family would also love limoncello sorbet as well – so that has to be the one for me!

  • 5. Vanessa Gregory | November 28th, 2010 at 8:10 am | #

    I would love the Passioncello, as the flavour draws me back to my childhood home, where we had passionfruit vines growing on our fence, covered in netting to (try) and keep the cockatoos off. Of course the Passioncello has a naughty adult twist!

  • 6. GourmetGetaways | November 28th, 2010 at 8:13 am | #

    This competition has my name written all over it!! Lemon is my favourite flavour for desserts (I say I love chocolate, but in reality lemon usually gets my vote.) My first preference would be to try the Limoncello, but all the flavours sound delicious.

  • 7. Julia | November 28th, 2010 at 8:23 am | #

    I haven’t tried it, but I’m guessing my favourite would be passioncello!
    I went to an Italian cooking class in Ravello last year and had my first taste of homemade limoncello and tangerinecello. Delicious!

  • 8. Sarah | November 28th, 2010 at 8:56 am | #

    I would love to use the limoncello in my trifle for christmas this year. I’m sure it’d add a bit of extra zing and keep the festive ‘spirit’ alive! (poor pun…sorry!)

  • 9. Felice | November 28th, 2010 at 9:21 am | #

    What a fantastic giveaway. It is almost enough to make me move back to Australia so that I am eligible. Congratulations to Cece Liqueur on their wonderful achievement. The passionfruit sounds “to die for”. I will definitely look out for their cello’s the next time I am in Sydney.

  • 10. Christine | November 28th, 2010 at 9:25 am | #

    I adore anything lemon flavoured as well! In fact, I just had crepes with lemon and sugar for breakfast today. Yum!

  • 11. Elizabeth (ejay) | November 28th, 2010 at 9:26 am | #

    All the flavours sound enticing – I think if I had to choose just one it would be the lime….such a refreshing flavour in the heat of summer.

  • 12. Judi Adams | November 28th, 2010 at 9:27 am | #

    I love lemoncello but now see a new fcve emerging- luscious lime, I think the flavour would be sublime!

  • 13. Elaine Oliver | November 28th, 2010 at 9:30 am | #

    Of course all sound wonderful but the limecello is winking at me!
    Thank Lorraine for this chance of winning such lovely Christmas cheer :o )
    Cheers, Elaine

  • 14. JUDITH MARTIN | November 28th, 2010 at 9:32 am | #

    Arancello-the freshness of the orange flavour so many uses in cooking or just as a cocktail

  • 15. Tina | November 28th, 2010 at 9:46 am | #

    I too love lemons but by hubby sort of dislikes them… Anyway, I would say limoncello is my favourite!

  • 16. Marita Grant | November 28th, 2010 at 9:47 am | #

    Love It! tasting it takes you back to Italy and lovely memories. Marita

  • 17. bettythrelfo | November 28th, 2010 at 9:48 am | #

    Have to admit lemon… Mum always had a lemon tree, and she mantained to get rid of a headache, a lemon drink, andi t always worked. I have always grown lemons and like to keep on hand. I even glace the skins, by peeling very thinly, then making a syrup one cup of water to l cup sugar. Cover skins, cut up to how you want, slowly bring to boil, , let go cold, and do this for three days. Topping water if needed. Drink syrup broken down, and put fruit to dry in microwave. *Try hot for l minute. When dried, store in bottle, and use, drinks, cakes, or just like me….eat. So anything lemon my favourite.

  • 18. Fiona | November 28th, 2010 at 9:56 am | #

    For me the Limoncello will always be my favourite.

    The taste of a good limoncello stright from the freezer over ice is one of the quintisential flavours of summer for me….

  • 19. Amanda | November 28th, 2010 at 10:02 am | #

    I think a shot of the orange would be nice in lemonade or soda water – and I love the colour of the lime. The labelling and bottle shapes are very stylish.

  • 20. KirstyS | November 28th, 2010 at 10:04 am | #

    Arancello… drizzled over some decadent chocolate ice cream to make an adults only jaffa version… yum!

  • 21. David | November 28th, 2010 at 10:04 am | #

    I love the idea of passioncello. What a great idea to have a traditional Italian liqueur and make it Australian with such a classic Aussie summer ingredient. Plus, I can see so many great uses for it in summer desserts and as a drink.

  • 22. Amanda | November 28th, 2010 at 10:05 am | #

    I can never go past limoncello – it fills me with happy memories of my time in Italy!

  • 23. Fiona | November 28th, 2010 at 10:07 am | #

    Lemon ! classic and great for summer

  • 24. Kate | November 28th, 2010 at 10:11 am | #

    Cece Arancello is wonderful for Duck L’Orange by using it in traditional recipes instead of orange juice.

  • 25. sue petrie | November 28th, 2010 at 10:18 am | #

    I agree with above Limoncello is the one for me so refreshing especially with a block of ice and a splash of club soda/soda water .it is the best for my taste buds

  • 26. Mary Preston | November 28th, 2010 at 10:24 am | #

    Limecello is delicious & everyone’s favourite. A zinger of a drink for hot summer nights.

  • 27. Barbara Weber | November 28th, 2010 at 10:24 am | #

    It has to be passioncello, reminds me of my childhood and you just can’t beat that unique flavour…nothing like it

  • 28. sally | November 28th, 2010 at 10:37 am | #

    Limoncello is the most beautiful tasting liqueur I have ever tasted and I would really love to have a bottle for a special Christmas day tipple !

  • 29. Charity | November 28th, 2010 at 10:40 am | #

    limoncello!!! it reminds me of the first time i tried it at the cinque terre after an arduous 12km hike in 40 degree heat. ice cold, refreshing and lemony, it was like a drop of heaven!

  • 30. Belinda Dennis | November 28th, 2010 at 10:50 am | #

    I don’t know why…but I just LOVE lemons!!!

  • 31. Jane Wilson | November 28th, 2010 at 10:54 am | #

    I haven’t been lucky enough to try Cello yet but the 1st one to sip,would be Arancello as oranges have the taste and smell of a Aussie summer

  • 32. angela | November 28th, 2010 at 10:56 am | #

    You can’t go past Limoncello…. on ice after a wonderful dinner to finish the night…. its refreshing and gives the evening a wonderful fresh note to finish on.

  • 33. CathyB | November 28th, 2010 at 11:05 am | #

    Delectable delicious Cece Limocello beautifully bursting with vibrant aromas and saucy succulent citrus flavour infuses wonderfulness to home-made vanilla ice cream. So yummy.

  • 34. Cathy | November 28th, 2010 at 11:12 am | #

    Lemocello,..whets the appetite for whatever is to come!!!!

  • 35. Roland | November 28th, 2010 at 11:14 am | #

    Limocello is life personified, clean, sweet, sharp and refreshing

  • 36. Rob Emanuel | November 28th, 2010 at 11:15 am | #

    Lime, dear Lorraine, but also the passionfruit.

    Passionfruit, because it revives the summers of my childhood and lime because I am having such great fun using limes in various sauces and sweets.

    I’d love to see how these liquers drink with a grilled barramundi covered with my hot and sour sauce made with fresh limes.

  • 37. Honey @ honeyandsoy | November 28th, 2010 at 11:20 am | #

    What a brilliant giveaway, Lorraine! So Christmassy, as you say. I would pick limoncello as my favourite. I adore lemon flavoured desserts as well, and are light and refreshing especially after a rich meal. I actually would love a glass of limoncello over a block of ice right now!:)

  • 38. kim | November 28th, 2010 at 11:31 am | #

    Hmmmm I’m generally a big lemon fan, I LOVE a good lemon tart, but I’d definitely have to try all of them to decide ;)

  • 39. Melissa | November 28th, 2010 at 11:35 am | #

    Passioncello for me! I am obsessed with passionfruit, particularly in summery cocktails! I also make a passionfruit dressing for fish and salads, and I think the passioncello would give it a little extra kick!

  • 40. Stephen B | November 28th, 2010 at 11:38 am | #

    Our wedding dessert was lemoncello macerated, I’d love to try to recreate it but have never got around to it, this would be a great chance to:)

  • 41. kathy s | November 28th, 2010 at 11:43 am | #

    I haven’t tried any of these flavours because like you I was given a drink of a different brand years ago and it was disgusting-bitter and tasted artificial somehow- so I would be glad to try any of them -I love lemon refreshments so probably the limoncello would be my first pick -nothing better than a cold lemon drink on a warm summers day.

  • 42. MICHELINE | November 28th, 2010 at 11:46 am | #

    My favourite is definitely the lemoncello. The taste is sublime. I always leave the bottle in the freezer; it’s very easy to drink and… I hate to share it.

  • 43. Shannon | November 28th, 2010 at 11:57 am | #

    Limoncello without a doubt, reminds me of a great sunny holiday on the Amalfi Coast in Italy…

  • 44. Sonia | November 28th, 2010 at 12:08 pm | #

    Hi Limoncello would have to be my favourite. It was the flavour that when I was a missionary in Italy the locals would insist it was not actually alcohol, just a refreshing drink! ( didn’t drink then!) now that I can drink because I left my religion I wish I had back then ha ha ha

  • 45. Chris | November 28th, 2010 at 12:13 pm | #

    I’m an anything lemon sort of gal too so it would be Limoncello for me but the Passionfruit one sounds really interesting too!!

  • 46. jl | November 28th, 2010 at 12:23 pm | #

    Has to be limecello hands down…love the zing and the tartness that reminds me of asia!

  • 47. Erin | November 28th, 2010 at 12:25 pm | #

    I love cello! I have a nearly empty bottle of their limoncello in my freezer but had no idea about their other flavours. I would love to try the arancello as I love orange flavours!! Yum :)

  • 48. Esther | November 28th, 2010 at 12:28 pm | #

    Limoncello: that is the original flavour. Just a sip and bang! you are transported to Sorrento and the blue Mediterranean sea…I miss Italy! Please take me there even for a second

  • 49. angevb | November 28th, 2010 at 12:37 pm | #

    Having only ever tried limoncello, I would have to say limoncello. I first fell in love with this spirit after having it in a wonderful cocktail, Italian Sunset at a lovely seafood restaurant in Inverness. Every time I have Limoncello, I just remember how I felt the first time I tasted it… sublime….

  • 50. Meghan | November 28th, 2010 at 12:52 pm | #

    Being a recent arrival from Canada, I am obsessed with all things passionfruit and am giddily enjoying all things with that flavor- it would certainly be the passioncello!

  • 51. Hannah | November 28th, 2010 at 12:58 pm | #

    Oooh, I’d definitely go for the Passioncello! I love the tanginess of lemon and passionfruits, so that one must be awesome!

  • 52. Anita | November 28th, 2010 at 1:21 pm | #

    Have tried the lemon and loved it so much…
    I’m just mad about lemon Cello,
    Lemon Cello’s mad about me.
    We call it Mellow Yellow Lemon Cello,
    Quite rightly.

    Oh, so mellow yellow..

  • 53. Louis | November 28th, 2010 at 1:44 pm | #

    I would love to try the limecello! Lime is one of my favourite flavours and added to alcohol it can only be a win :)

  • 54. Stefania | November 28th, 2010 at 1:45 pm | #

    Limoncello absolutely – fell in love with Limoncello whilst on honeymoon with my husband 13 years in Italy – every since then I keep it in the freezer and serve over ice, or macerate strawberries in limoncello and serve with sorbet for a super quick dessert, add some in sponge cakes in place of vanilla. I would love the Arancello and use it in an orange and almond cake for Chrissy, and the Passioncello drizzled on pavlova OMG…the ideas are endless :) )

  • 55. Stefania | November 28th, 2010 at 1:46 pm | #

  • 56. rhiannon | November 28th, 2010 at 1:59 pm | #

    I love limoncello and drinking it takes me back to lazy afternoons in Amalfi – but as i love passionfruit i really want to try the passioncello – it sounds like it would be amazing!

  • 57. Anna | November 28th, 2010 at 2:02 pm | #

    Christmas morning.
    Toasted pannetone.
    And a crystal flute made even prettier with strawberry puree, a dash of Arancello liquer and Icy Cold Prosecco.
    Mmmmmmmmmm Arancello…

  • 58. MellyL | November 28th, 2010 at 2:23 pm | #

    Definitely lemon, it’s been my favourite for ages. A daily glass of lemon juice before breakie cleanses the body of all the toxins. It’s great for digestion (especially after the festive parties!) and for healing common ailments like coughs and sore throat. It’s even said to make you look younger (my best friend who’s 40 but looks 25 is a sucker for lemon juice*).

    Sorry I sound like your local GP but I simply can’t praise enough of this miracle fruit
    … though I must admit that a perfect slice of sumptuous lemon tart would make me go weak on the knees ;-)

    * please consult your beauty therapist before attempting this stunt ;-)

  • 59. carmen.muscat | November 28th, 2010 at 2:41 pm | #

    LIMONCELLO PLEASE YOU CAN USE IT IN ANYTHING FROM CAKES TO DRINKS TO ICE-CREAM. I CANNOT DO WITHOUT, AS SOON THE BOTTLE IS HALF EMPTY I PANIC AND RUSH OUT TO BUY MORE DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!1

  • 60. Margaret Bird | November 28th, 2010 at 2:46 pm | #

    My favourite flavour from the Cece range would be limecello as I can just imagine a slurp of limecello poured into a gin and tonic on a hot summer’s day.

  • 61. Catherine Anderson | November 28th, 2010 at 3:05 pm | #

    For me it would be passioncello, never tried it, but it sounds divine! When I was little Mum used to cut the fruit in half and we’d scoop the fruit out with a spoon (or suck it out!) This seems like a much more adult way of enjoying the flavour!

  • 62. michelle | November 28th, 2010 at 3:33 pm | #

    Passioncello – everyone needs passion in their lives

  • 63. msihua | November 28th, 2010 at 3:35 pm | #

    Limoncello!!! It even has my name in it! Lame I know… Oh wow.. I had a taste of this during the food & wine festival and it blew my socks off!!!

  • 64. Mikey | November 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm | #

    Yum! I saw cello on a tv show & was wondering where I could get some! I’d love to try the limecello because just as you love lemon, I love lime!

  • 65. Greg | November 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm | #

    Limonchello of course. It makes my lips smacking

  • 66. Margs | November 28th, 2010 at 4:10 pm | #

    Passiona-cello snowcones!

    Passioncello for sure!! Reminds me of Passiona! A childhood drink meets an adulthood drink :)
    My boyfriends’ fave flave is limoncello – which is ok, but I cannot shot the stuff like he can.. I can shot passioncello, limecello – haven’t tried arancello though . . .

  • 67. hellen | November 28th, 2010 at 4:16 pm | #

    limomcello as it has a fresh tangy taste and goes great with fresh fish or chicken

  • 68. Merryl | November 28th, 2010 at 4:38 pm | #

    Passioncello because I’m passion-ate about this delicious liqueur!

  • 69. Michelle | November 28th, 2010 at 5:00 pm | #

    What a lovely, scrumptious selection Lorraine! :) It is difficult to choose… but I would have to say Passion fruit!! I love passion fruit flavour, it always has a light, tangy, summery, aromatic mood and would be wonderful for using in punch at Christmas time with the family! The beautiful thing about passion fruit is that it also has hundreds of medicinal properties used throughout history, i.e. treating high blood pressure, asthma, mood disorders, killing cancers and expelling bacteria… so I wouldn’t have to feel guilty for having a drop or two!! All of the flavours would be sensational in the summer heat at Christmas time!! :-) Lots of Love Michelle xxxx

  • 70. Carly | November 28th, 2010 at 5:08 pm | #

    Passioncello most definitely … To serve on a hot summers day with pavlova for dessert – yum!

  • 71. Wendy | November 28th, 2010 at 5:12 pm | #

    Arancello for me. I always make my (long passed) Grandma’s trifle for Christmas with savoiardi sponge fingers soaked in sherry but I think the orange flavour will be better still. Mouth is watering in anticipation!

  • 72. Kylie | November 28th, 2010 at 5:33 pm | #

    hrmmm im a classic girl so Limoncello for sure. there is a slice that i have made which has the juice of about 4 lemons in it, its crazy zingy and sweet all at the same time. i cannot imagine a nicer drink to enjoy this perth summer

    great comp’!

  • 73. Tina Polito | November 28th, 2010 at 5:34 pm | #

    Buonissimo!! Delicioso!! Acqualina in bocca YUM!! Reminds me of Italy sipping an ice cold shot glass after a huge meal…. It’s Limecello for me a cool,clean, crisp citrus favour to be savoured on it’s own, in a cocktail or even poured over some summer stone fruit what could be better?

  • 74. Jonathon James Clarke | November 28th, 2010 at 5:36 pm | #

    Mmmmm….Arancello over crushed ice in summer! Although you had me at Limoncello! lol :D

  • 75. Tracy Boulter | November 28th, 2010 at 6:28 pm | #

    Limecello in summer is my choice, so cooling and refreshing on a hot summer’s day.

  • 76. joanne | November 28th, 2010 at 7:18 pm | #

    Passioncello because a bit of passion is what i want

  • 77. InTolerant Chef | November 28th, 2010 at 7:45 pm | #

    Lime! Its fresh, citrusy and I think it would be great splashed over a raw fish sashimi of kingfish on Christmas day to beat the heat. You must feel like Mrs Claus with all these exiting giveaways!

  • 78. Liz | November 28th, 2010 at 8:17 pm | #

    Arancello on crushed ice, or ice cream or splashed in champagne–or maybe just a drop of each for a grown up mixed cordial.

  • 79. SiPan | November 28th, 2010 at 8:31 pm | #

    Sipping a chilled Limoncello takes you back to Positano and the gorgeous Amalfi coast – magical!

  • 80. Jodi Mollard | November 28th, 2010 at 8:40 pm | #

    Definately limoncello…..I love lemon verbena, and my mouth is watering at the thought of drinking this on a hot summer’s day……delicious!!!!!

  • 81. milkteaxx | November 28th, 2010 at 8:48 pm | #

    Passioncello Passioncello Passioncello !!!
    im going thru a passionfruit phase!!

  • 82. Ang | November 28th, 2010 at 9:02 pm | #

    Lime would have to be my pick I even have a lime tree in my backyard! In desserts, gin & tonic – anything. I have never tried Limecello but would love to change that:-P

  • 83. Wendy | November 28th, 2010 at 9:19 pm | #

    Passionfruit is a flavour I can never go past. Love it. Would love to try this one. Bring back childhood memories in a very adult way!

  • 84. Dan | November 28th, 2010 at 9:35 pm | #

    Limoncello!! They all sound amazing though!

  • 85. Bria | November 28th, 2010 at 10:17 pm | #

    Limoncello. Perfect for Summer!

  • 86. Su-yin | November 28th, 2010 at 11:23 pm | #

    I’m not eligible but that passioncello sounds brilliant! I didn’t even knew it existed…

  • 87. LimeCake | November 28th, 2010 at 11:54 pm | #

    I’d love to try the passionfruit! Seems deliciously appealing and appealingly delicious!

  • 88. Cathy | November 29th, 2010 at 12:04 am | #

    All sound intoxicating…but would choose the Limoncello. It would give my lemon curd tarts that extra kick !!

  • 89. Gillian | November 29th, 2010 at 4:02 am | #

    Unfortunately though I am a great deal over 18 I do not live in Australia and therefore can not win this wonderful prize. I would though love to try the lime flavor as I have never had that. I did just return home from Sorrento though the home of lemoncello where we had one after most dinners and have a bottle waiting in my freezer for the right happy moment here in Canada.

  • 90. Emma Clancy | November 29th, 2010 at 7:02 am | #

    Passioncello pretty please!!Because i put the passion in Passioncello!!

  • 91. LindaF | November 29th, 2010 at 8:23 am | #

    To say I love limoncello is an understatement!, but to win four bottles would be wonderful, i have tried an imported greek version of the orange (except it was mandarin)and I am hooked !! I remember buying a bottle of locally made passionfruit wine whilst in Port Douglas this year, and my aged mother and father and I shared the bottle, with not a drop left!

  • 92. Viktoria Burgmann | November 29th, 2010 at 8:51 am | #

    Passioncello would be great to have with passionfruit souffle. And seeing as summer is supposed to be almost here the tropical hint of the passioncello would be just perfect.

  • 93. Nikki | November 29th, 2010 at 8:53 am | #

    Nothing says summer to me more than a Mojito! So limecello is definitely the one for me. Serve with ice, soda water, lime wedges & muddled mint. Deliciously refreshing. Nom, nom, nom.

  • 94. Nic@diningwithastud | November 29th, 2010 at 9:00 am | #

    A good friend of mine always brings a bottle of her Nonnas homemade limoncello whenever we have a picnic so lemon is def my fave. Reminds me of a great day in the park with friends

  • 95. RedDoll | November 29th, 2010 at 9:05 am | #

    I would love the traditional lemon limoncello as it brings back memories of my time in Italy drinking straight from the freezer over looking a tiny vineyard and olive grove that we happened upon and the owners invited us to stay! Good memories!

  • 96. cheryl Beswick | November 29th, 2010 at 9:05 am | #

    Limoncello on ice for me.Any left over might happen to be used for desserts if you are lucky,

  • 97. Laura | November 29th, 2010 at 9:19 am | #

    I love a good Limoncello. The best I have tried was a limoncello made with cream. It was made by a local Italian family resturant and was the perfect dessert drink served straight from the freezer.

  • 98. Amanda | November 29th, 2010 at 9:33 am | #

    I was recently inspired to make an old summer Australian favourite this Christmas, pavlova – this will now be served with a twist – a passioncello syrup drizzled over the top… my family don’t know it yet, but this will become their favourite dessert of Christmas 2010. Nan might even like it better than the tinned passionfruit pulp which she (and probably every other Australian Nan) has spooned over pavlovas since long before I was born!

    Passionfruit is Christmas to me!

  • 100. Claire | November 29th, 2010 at 9:45 am | #

    very tempted to say limoncello because my mother makes the best lemon meringue pie in the world…but have to say passioncello. just because of pavlovas topped with passionfruit and melting moments with passionfruit cream, passionfruit macaroons on a little street in paris and making the perfect fruit salad topped with lashings of that gorgeous pulp.

    and – YUM!

  • 101. Lisette | November 29th, 2010 at 10:00 am | #

    Loving the Italian themed competition!

    My vote is Limoncello – brings back memories of the Amalfi Coast and is perfect for washing down a delicious entree of pasta and seafood main in summer :)

  • 102. Faith | November 29th, 2010 at 10:02 am | #

    Another lovely giveaway, Lorraine! I love the look of those chic bottles!

  • 103. D | November 29th, 2010 at 10:08 am | #

    Passionfruit! – It’s my favourite!

  • 104. Tess | November 29th, 2010 at 10:22 am | #

    Passionfruit for sure! I’m not sure when I started liking this flavour but I do have an early memory of getting my mum to strain passionfruit yoghurt cause I loved the flavour but couldn’t handle the seeds! What a diva child I was!

  • 105. carol | November 29th, 2010 at 10:27 am | #

    Passioncello sounds divine. I would love to use it to make ice cream and for a filling for macarons. Yum

  • 106. Roz Kaye | November 29th, 2010 at 10:42 am | #

    MMmmm Well all four would be great my hubbie and I are ex-cocktail bar staff and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night are “Cocktail time” (one only per night) our favourites are Caprioskas and Marguerita’s. All four of the Cello liqueurs would just add great flavour it our cocktail nights!

  • 107. Fifi | November 29th, 2010 at 11:00 am | #

    I think one try of the arancello would show whether this product was worthy or not. So many poor quality orange flavoured liqeurs have a bitter aftertaste. A good one would seal the deal for me!

  • 108. jenny | November 29th, 2010 at 11:30 am | #

    limecello would be my favorite because I prefer lime over lemon as it has more of a zing to it.

  • 109. not bloody mary likely | November 29th, 2010 at 11:34 am | #

    Limoncello. It would go perfectly with my favourite sweet, Nana’s lemon slice.

  • 110. Sally | November 29th, 2010 at 12:51 pm | #

    Limoncello! My Mum got some awful news that her sister had passed away while she was dining with my Dad and brother in a little Italian place in London. Obviously, the dinner ended short, and the lovely waiter, as a kind gesture bought to the table 3 shots of Limoncello when after le learned why the sudden change of mood at the table. Everyone was taken aback by his kindness, but especially Mum, knowing that it was, coincidentally, her sister’s favourite drink. Limoncello always makes me think of her :) Sal

  • 111. Paula the Pilgrim | November 29th, 2010 at 12:55 pm | #

    Passioncello drizzled over a freshly cut mango makes it wickedly so heavenly as a dessert!!

  • 112. mandy | November 29th, 2010 at 1:56 pm | #

    Dear lorraine,
    They are all great but my favourite is:-

    Christmas pavlova drizzled with ‘Passioncello’,
    A hint of delicious tropical sugarcane alcohol,
    A flavour explosion, my taste buds say ‘hello’.

    Regards Mandy

  • 113. Ron | November 29th, 2010 at 3:41 pm | #

    Lemon, it reminds me of London. every decent resturant in London serves this.

  • 114. Netti | November 29th, 2010 at 3:50 pm | #

    OMG I’ve used lemoncello in my lime and lemoncello tart, how fabulous would it be to make one with limoncello OR passionfruit liquer, yum yum. I’d love to win.

  • 115. Mick | November 29th, 2010 at 4:35 pm | #

    Limecello would be great for my first love-Asian style food

  • 116. Carol | November 29th, 2010 at 5:56 pm | #

    I too have a cheap bottle of limoncello in the cupboard, would love to try the real deal, alas no stockists in my area.Passionfruit is my passion!!!

    Limoncello & Limecello (In A Pie)

    Whether you boil or bake it,
    broil or fry it.
    I defy you to surpass this,
    my lemon lime pie.

    The crust is so light that it crumbles and flakes,
    I prefefer lemon/lime pie to a bloody quite rare, porterhouse steak.

    The filling so tart so remarkably creamy.
    Is superbly, positively and ecstatically dreamy.

    I hope and I pray that before you die,
    you can have a piece of my lemon lime pie.

    IT IS THE BUSINESS! Yummy!

  • 118. Aleah | November 29th, 2010 at 7:00 pm | #

    I love the tartness of limoncello. Yum!

  • 119. Sally | November 29th, 2010 at 7:25 pm | #

    Passioncello, who could go past that! Yummo!

  • 120. Noodlehead | November 29th, 2010 at 7:45 pm | #

    Limoncello!!I just love it cold from the freezer served over ice and I even divised a limoncello tiramasu type recipe to serve with it after dinner! Divine! I would love to try the other variety’s as I have read much about Cello’s recent accolades!
    Merry Christmas

    Limecello (lime) sounds delicious because it would be so refreshing and tangy! YUM!

  • 125. J | November 29th, 2010 at 11:01 pm | #

    Limecello – it would be perfect for fruity, summery desserts

  • 126. Jerome | November 30th, 2010 at 3:22 am | #

    Lemoncello!! Love it when I’m sick with a headache…knocks me straight out. Then I wake up with a nice tingle in my mouth which takes all the pain away.

  • 127. Ming | November 30th, 2010 at 7:56 am | #

    Limecello – Lime is good with anything for sure…

  • 128. Dimity | November 30th, 2010 at 8:51 am | #

    My Mum luuuurves limoncello! Little festive tip, she uses it instead of sherry in our family Christmas trifle, yummo!

    Would love to give her this for Christmas, I may however snaffle the Passioncello for myself :)

  • 129. Ann | November 30th, 2010 at 9:19 am | #

    I think I would like the limecello the best because I adore lime flavoured anything!
    What a wonderful gift idea.

  • 130. Yvette Risk | November 30th, 2010 at 10:11 am | #

    I think a liberal dose of Arancello topped with shaved chocolate would make the perfect summer desert. But I’d really like to try them all just to be sure I’m right!

  • 131. michele | November 30th, 2010 at 10:29 am | #

    arancello is my favourite its great with shaved chockie got rave reviews from frineds and family for that

  • 132. Sally Davey | November 30th, 2010 at 11:19 am | #

    Lemoncello always takes me back to when my husband and i sat on the banks of the Cinque Terre sipping it over gelatti – now we have it on the coast.

  • 133. Stephanie | November 30th, 2010 at 12:30 pm | #

    Limoncello for sure – it reminds me of spending last Christmas in Sorrento!

  • 134. phil | November 30th, 2010 at 12:48 pm | #

    i would say limecello because i could add a dash of brandy and sip away

  • 135. Katherine Ryan | November 30th, 2010 at 1:09 pm | #

    Limecello please! I love the sourness of lemon but lime has a slightly exotic bent along the same lines. I’m already staring into space as I type this thinking of combinations I could make with mixers or other fruity liqeurs.. or coconut ones.. Ooh! I’m all inspired-like!

  • 136. Merryn Galluccio | November 30th, 2010 at 1:36 pm | #

    Passioncello sounds enticing and refreshing! Limoncello is popular and this delightful passioncello would be the perfect pick-me-up for our lovely warm summer months to come served over ice. What a great range of liquers and it would be a privilege to try any of these exotic offerings.

  • 137. Di | November 30th, 2010 at 2:01 pm | #

    Limoncello because lemon is one of my favourite flavours. Tangy and refreshing, great for summer!

  • 138. Merryl | November 30th, 2010 at 3:14 pm | #

    Passioncello would be the ultimate topping for macadamia ice-cream on a hot summer day.

  • 139. Cassie | December 1st, 2010 at 8:25 am | #

    Limecello!

  • 140. Susan: My Food Obsession | December 1st, 2010 at 8:44 am | #

    It has got to be Limecello all the way for me! I can picture it now: pineapple juice, some coconut milk poured over a hi-ball glass filled with ice and splashed with a shot of Limecello. Pure Heaven :)

    Oh, and don’t forget the mini tropical umbrella!

  • 141. Jacque | December 1st, 2010 at 9:08 am | #

    Can’t beat the original lemon limoncello – brings back memories of summer on the Amalfi Coast where they sell limoncello in every second shop!

  • 144. Nomes | December 1st, 2010 at 3:31 pm | #

    I’d have to say that I think it would be tied for Lemon and Lime, how devine would they both be in a yummy cheesecake or lemon lime tart?! I’m feeling like Homer Simpson when he’s thinking of bacon now…he he he.

  • 145. Jacqui | December 1st, 2010 at 4:28 pm | #

    Limoncello – takes me back to Sorrento for my friend Leissa’s 30th holiday.

    Though they all sound delicious, limoncello would be the one for me – I had it once in Italy and it was amazing!

  • 152. Merryl | December 2nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm | #

    Passioncello. I love all things passionfruit and I’d love to try this liqueur. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

  • 153. Ben | December 3rd, 2010 at 2:15 pm | #

    Limecello! Nothing can beat the bittersweet tang of fresh lime juice. Beautiful and refreshing on a hot summers day over ice, I would love to taste this.

  • 154. Caroline | December 3rd, 2010 at 7:09 pm | #

    Passioncello mixed with soda water, lemonade, or ginger beer is, for me, a perfect summer’s drink.

    Have only tried the lemon and can only imagine how delicious the others would be.

  • 156. Louise | December 4th, 2010 at 12:14 am | #

    Lemon flavour is definitely my favourite.

  • 157. Karen Martin | December 4th, 2010 at 8:31 am | #

  • 158. Merryl | December 4th, 2010 at 5:15 pm | #

    Passioncello. A passionfruit liqueur … mmmm yummmmm!

  • 159. Mary Lang | December 4th, 2010 at 6:32 pm | #

    Do I really, truly have to choose????

    Perhaps tradition will affect my decision,
    as I say “hello” to Limonchello…

    What have we here? There’s a zing and the zang,
    while out I bellow, “bring on the Limechello”…

    Hot blooded, alluring moments of wonder call for Passionchello while we’re on the pillow ….

    Now the day is done, the guests all gone,
    leaving me mellow in the company of none other than Arancello …

    My choice now made and without further ado,
    I want Limonchello, Limechello, Passionchello and Arancello too!

  • 160. Vicki | December 5th, 2010 at 11:42 am | #

    Passionfruit sounds amazing & says summer like nothing else.

  • 161. Nat | December 5th, 2010 at 1:36 pm | #

    Lemon, as my addiction started at a very young age, in fact before I was born. My mother had HUGE cravings for lemons whilst she was pregnant with me, consuming bags of them constantly, eating them like oranges as if they were going out of style! In fact, she asked my father to bring a bag of lemons home after work. He purchased the bag of lemons and placed them on the back seat of their FJ Holden. Unfortunately the car was stolen but my mother was more devastated about not receiving her beloved lemons. The car was later recovered but guess what? The car thieves had eaten the lemons leaving only the skins on the back seat.(Maybe another desperate Lemon Lover) This would have sent my mother into an absolute frenzy. Anyway, long story short, I believe this is why I simply can’t live without lemons xx

  • 162. Jacqui Lagaluga | December 5th, 2010 at 2:36 pm | #

    The Passioncello is so quintessentially Summer and versatile enough to be included in sorbets,ice-creams,desserts and baking!

  • 163. Merryl | December 5th, 2010 at 4:53 pm | #

    Limecello. Lime is tart and tangy and makes everything taste better.

    Passionfruit for sure would be my fave!

  • 165. Karen | December 5th, 2010 at 11:51 pm | #

    Passioncello (passionfruit), would be my favorite as this fruit always reminds me of my Grandmothers’ garden filled with a large passionfruit vine.Great memories.

  • 166. Patch | December 6th, 2010 at 11:06 am | #

    Limoncello – for it’s refreshing flavour after a heavy meal, it’s all you need to get ready for dessert.

  • 167. Lana | December 6th, 2010 at 2:03 pm | #

    Lime – it reminds me of summer, cold beer with corona, fish with lime, the ziggy smell and taste.

  • 168. Annie | December 6th, 2010 at 5:08 pm | #

    Mine would have to be Limoncello. I adore anything lemon: Lemon Gelato, Lemon Meringue Pie, Crispy Lemon Chicken from my local Chinese takeaway, Lemon Curd Tarts, Lemon Sorbet, Lemon Delicious, Homemade Lemonade, Lemon Cheesecake, Lemon Butter the list is endless. Did I mention that I like lemons?

    I am imagining a glass of crushed ice with Limoncello poured over it on a hot summer’s day. Oh that would be lemon bliss for me.

  • 169. Phunk | December 6th, 2010 at 10:13 pm | #

    Oh yum, I love limoncello! What a fab prize. I’d love to try the limecello – can imagine it would be deliciously refreshing on a hot summer night :)

    Passioncello. Passionfruit is the taste of summer.

  • 172. Ming | December 9th, 2010 at 1:13 pm | #

    Arancello (orange) liqueurs- conventional orange but i am sure will taste unconventional

  • 173. Richard Klooger | December 11th, 2010 at 12:37 am | #

    Limecello would be the one as it lime has bite yet subtle enough that it’s not to bitter, just like a good beer.

  • 174. nadia khodja | December 11th, 2010 at 12:13 pm | #

    Good old fashioned Limoncello. If i was making a lemon based dessert such as a particular pudding i would add it to that.

    Arancello- the name and flavour sound just sensational

  • 181. Angelika Mueller | December 13th, 2010 at 10:49 am | #

    Lemoncello – the taste and smell has my soul lying under a lemon tree in lush sunlight dappled grass, watching the flutterbyes ( usually known as butterflys but flutterbyes makes way more sense1)

  • 182. rhiannon | December 14th, 2010 at 5:37 pm | #

  • 183. josie | December 15th, 2010 at 11:50 am | #

    Definitely the lemon.
    It is just like the one my cousin in Sicily makes from lemons grown in the soils of Mr Etna.

  • 184. Julie | December 15th, 2010 at 1:01 pm | #

    I absolutely love passionfruit so the Passioncello will suit me nicely!

  • 192. Annette | December 16th, 2010 at 8:08 am | #

    Lemons are one my favourite things …. they simply look and feel gorgeous. To me they look like summer. I’ve tried Limoncello but would love a bottle to experiment with. I’m sure there’s hundreds of ways we can drink and cook with it.

  • 193. rhiannon | December 16th, 2010 at 4:03 pm | #

    Passioncello because i love both limoncello and passionfruit so having both together would be heaven :)

  • 194. Angela | December 16th, 2010 at 4:55 pm | #

    Passioncello sounds right up my alley! There’s something very summery about passionfruit – reminds me of scooping them out, fresh and hot off the vine in summer as a kid!

  • 195. rhiannon | December 17th, 2010 at 9:31 am | #

    Passioncello sounds amazing – i love limoncello and i love passionfruit, so the combination would be lovely!

  • 196. Ming | December 17th, 2010 at 1:37 pm | #

    limoncello – just because i love the colour

  • 197. Allison | December 18th, 2010 at 8:08 am | #

    Passioncello sounds de-vine to me :)

  • 198. Bobbie | December 18th, 2010 at 9:40 am | #

    Yum! All of these sound delicious! But I have to pick Limecello (lime)!

  • 199. rhiannon | December 18th, 2010 at 11:24 am | #

    I would pick Passioncello – i love limoncello and i love passionfruit, having both together would be heaven

  • 200. jilea carney | December 18th, 2010 at 4:34 pm | #

    Hmmm…. my favourites would be the Limoncello, Arancello, Passioncello and Limecello. Not necessarily in that order!

  • 201. emma haddon | December 18th, 2010 at 5:28 pm | #

    Passioncello is my favourite,its fruity flavour hits the spot…
    Drink it, eat it, pour it,mix it..
    Other flavours, I’ll try the lot!

    The Special liquor fruity tang, to savour and admire…
    Passioncello is mt number one,
    The ultimate cocktail desire!!

  • 202. Meagan L | December 19th, 2010 at 7:58 am | #

    Passioncello how refreshing on a nice summers evening.

  • 203. rhiannon | December 19th, 2010 at 8:33 am | #

    I like the Passioncello the best – i love both limoncello and passionfruit, so the combination sounds like it would be amazing!

  • 204. Annette Searle | December 19th, 2010 at 1:13 pm | #

    One of my fondest childhood memories is rolling jaffas down the aisle at the local movie theatre (guess that dates me huh). So because chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven, it would have to be the orange. I’d even have a crack at making a Jaffa chocolate mousse!

  • 205. Christine Barter | December 19th, 2010 at 3:59 pm | #

    So many choices…so little time!
    I know I would love and use all of these flavours, but the citrus of limoncello would offset the sweetness of ice-cream and be the more delicious for it.

  • 206. Tanya K | December 19th, 2010 at 5:43 pm | #

    Passioncello poured over vanilla icecream on a hot summer night sounds just amazing.

  • 207. Kelly ray | December 19th, 2010 at 9:15 pm | #

    Limoncello does it for me…I have it as a night cap in summer, in a chilled shotglass, and sometimes dr fresh fruit drizzled over fresh fruit to really spark up the flavour.

  • 208. nat | December 19th, 2010 at 10:27 pm | #

    I’m just addicted to lemons, just because I think Limoncello (lemon) is for me
