The Breakfast Italiano brings together the bright, sweet citrus of limoncello with a shot of bold espresso, creating a drink that straddles the line between after-dinner digestif and morning pick-me-up. The coffee's roasted bitterness cuts through the liqueur's sugary lemon character, while a touch of vodka adds structure without competing for attention. It drinks like an Italian café in liquid form—brisk, aromatic, and unapologetically direct.
