When the Rocky Mountain sun’s beating down and the trails are calling your name, there’s no better way to kick back than with a cold glass of something local, golden, and just sweet enough to make you grin.

We’re talking about Rocky Mountain Sunshine Vodka’s Limoncello—a handcrafted, veteran-owned, Colorado Springs original that blends smooth vodka with bright citrus, fresh lemon, and a touch of wildflower honey. It’s the kind of drink that tastes like summer wrapped in a mountain breeze.

And if you’ve only had limoncello in tiny glasses after a fancy dinner? Friend, you’ve been missing out. We’re giving it the Colorado treatment—trailhead to tailgate, ski slope to porch swing.
