Lemon Gin Liqueur

Lemon-forward gin liqueur — gin (juniper + botanicals) macerated or blended with fresh lemon juice and sweetening, typically 20-30% ABV. Distinct from Limoncello (which uses neutral spirit + lemon peel oils, no gin botanicals) by the juniper-citrus backbone. Examples: Sheringham Distillery Fresh Lemon, Hayman's Citrus Sherbet Gin Liqueur. Plays as a soft-sweet gin substitute in lemon-forward stirred or shaken builds where modern bartenders want gin character without dryness.
