Punzone Cordials
Italian style cordials and lemon liqueur, poured in Commack since decades.
The story behind Punzone
Punzone is an Italian style cordial label, the kind of bottle that turns up on the back bar of every red sauce joint on Long Island and never gets enough credit. Lemoncello is the family's calling card: lemon peel steeped in alcohol, sweetened, and bottled at cordial strength, bright and oily and cold straight from the freezer. The Originale follows the same sweet, aromatic cordial tradition, and the Punzone Vodka rounds out the trio as a clean, neutral pour.
We have carried these bottles for years because they do a job nothing else does. They finish a meal, they stretch a cocktail, and they cost less than most dessert wines. We cannot tell you the exact origin story or production method beyond what the label states, and we will not invent one. What we can tell you is how the bottles behave in the glass, and that is what this page is for.

Which Punzone is right for you?
All three Punzone bottles come in at thirty one ninety nine for the Lemoncello and Originale, thirty five ninety nine for the Vodka. One liter each, which matters: a cordial at this price in this size is a house bottle, not a special occasion bottle. Keep the Lemoncello in the freezer, keep the Originale on the shelf, and keep the Vodka wherever you keep the rest of your bar. Call us at the store for current stock before you drive over.
Freezer cold, small glasses, done. The easiest way to end a big meal.
A neutral one liter bottle for testing drinks without burning through the good stuff.
Sipped neat or over ice when you want something sweeter than a spirit.
Punzone cocktails and pairings
Serve the Lemoncello straight from the freezer in small glasses, and the Originale over one cube. These are sweet pours, so pair them with bitter and salty food.
