Makrut LimePop is a California citrus aperitif from Mommenpop in Napa, made with organic California Makrut limes and bottled at 17% ABV.
Each bottle starts with a base wine from organic Northern California grapes, fortified with Napa-made grape spirit and flavored with whole organic citrus and select botanicals.
Makrut lime and its leaves are prized in Southeast Asian cooking for their intense aromatics, and here they give lime zest, lemon balm, lemongrass and citrus blossom.
Mommenpop was founded in Napa in 2017 by winemaker Samantha Sheehan.
Released as a limited summer edition, it is a bright pick for spritz season.
Vermouth is an aromatised wine: a base wine fortified with neutral spirit and flavoured with botanicals, traditionally including wormwood, which gives the category its name from the German Wermut. Once opened, it should be kept in the refrigerator and enjoyed within a few weeks, as the wine base slowly loses its freshness.
