Daphane Limoncello

Tasting Profile

Nose: Bright citrus aroma dominated by fresh Meyer lemons, with a hint of sweet sugar and light corn alcohol warmth.

Palate: A clean, smooth lemon-forward flavor — you get the zestiness of lemons over a subtle sweetness. The base is 6×‑distilled corn alcohol, so the liqueur is light, crisp, and easy to sip, with a balanced profile that avoids being cloyingly sweet.

Finish: The finish stays fresh and citrusy, leaving a gentle lemon‑peel brightness that lingers — making it refreshing enough for sipping straight over ice or mixing in cocktails.

Meet the Founders

Daphane Limoncello was founded by two friends — Daphane Carter and Taia Rashid — under their company Cashid Beverage Ltd Co.

Carter brings a background in STEM and education leadership — she held roles in advanced mathematics and chemistry as well as positions in school administration before shifting into entrepreneurship.

Rashid — previously in corporate work before becoming a mother — and Carter bonded over family connections and shared aspirations. Their 2022 trip to Italy sparked the idea: why not bring a fresh, modern, high‑quality twist to the classic Italian liqueur?

Their vision: craft a citrus‑based spirit that’s premium yet approachable, offering a “luxe life” of warmth, fun, friends — a drink for celebrations, hangouts, or quiet evenings alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Daphane Limoncello different from traditional limoncello?

While traditional limoncello often uses lemon zest, sugar, and a neutral spirit (like vodka), Daphane Limoncello is handcrafted with Meyer lemons, organic cane sugar (or agave syrup), and 6×‑distilled corn alcohol. The result: a more refined, less overly sweet, ultra‑premium liqueur experience.

Can I drink it straight, or is it only for cocktails?

You can absolutely enjoy it straight — over ice — or use it in cocktails. Its balanced, clean flavor and smooth finish also work beautifully in drinks like lemon‑drop martinis or lighter citrus‑forward cocktails.

Is Daphane Limoncello gluten‑free or low-calorie?

Yes. Because it is made with distilled corn alcohol and natural ingredients, the brand promotes it as gluten‑free and lower in calories compared with many sugary liqueurs.
