This Low Calorie Sugar Free Limoncello recipe is just 65 calories for 2.5 ounces (about 1/3 cup!) And it’s sugar free thanks to our favorite all natural zero-calorie simple syrup (more about that below in the recipe card!). It may not be the traditional way to make limoncello liqueur, but by swapping out all the sugar for the natural sweetener I was able to save 100’s of calories without changing the flavor or the potency.
