How it's made

Bezalel Wine & Brandy Estate, located on the N14 Highway between Upington and Keimoes in the Northern Cape's Green Kalahari region, has been family-owned on the Orange River since 1947. Our Premium Zesty Lemon Liqueur starts with unaged wine spirit and distilled lemon spirit, infused with the zest of estate-grown organic lemons, and balanced with local honey. This modern South African twist on Limoncello captures the fresh, invigorating essence of a summer day — bottled for year-round enjoyment.

Serve & pair.

Serve

This vibrant liqueur is perfect for warm days and bright moments:

  • Neat & Chilled — Pour a generous measure into a snifter glass, let it breathe for a moment, and savour its zesty aroma and bright flavour.
  • Over Crushed Ice — For a zesty refreshment, serve over crushed ice. The chill accentuates the lemon liveliness, and the melting ice creates a perfectly mellow sip.
  • In Your Cocktail — Amazing as a Liqueur Spritzer — just add lemonade or soda. Or add a splash to transform your cocktails with a zesty twist (try it in a Lemon Drop Martini or Spritz).
  • With Desserts — Drizzle over lemon sorbet, vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries for a sublime, citrusy dessert experience.
  • Cocktail ideas:
    • Zesty Lemon Spritz: 40 ml liqueur, prosecco, soda water, lemon slice, mint sprig.
    • Lemon Drop Martini: 40 ml liqueur, 30 ml vodka, 20 ml fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, sugar rim.
    • Simple Sunshine Sip: 40 ml liqueur over crushed ice, splash of sparkling water, lemon twist.
Pair

The bright, zesty lemon profile pairs beautifully with:

  • Lemon desserts — sorbet, lemon tart, or lemon curd cake — amplifies the citrus brightness.
  • Fresh berries or fruit salads — enhances the natural fruitiness.
  • Light cheeses — goat cheese or ricotta for a sweet-tangy contrast.
  • Summer snacks — fruit pavlova, citrus cheesecake, or lemon gelato.
