On the cliffs of Sorrento, the air is filled with the scent of lemons and the sea… “Let’s bottle that fragrance,” they said… and thus, Limoncello was born…

This lemon cordial is a staple in all Italian homes, and Mama Carms would like to teach us how to make it. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Mama Carms has been a staple in the Shanghai scene, since she moved here two years ago, at the young age of 79. Born to Italian immigrants, and married to one for over 40 years, she’s learned a trick or two from the Old Country.

Join her in her Jing’an home for the stories and steps to make this lemon liqueur, which will be ready just in time for the Holidays.

Participants are requested to bring a bag to transport their items home.
