Andy and Seamus have now made a 'limoncello empire'

Friends Andy Oyeneyin, 38, from Toxteth , and Seamus Sullivan, 26, from West Derby are managing directors of Zest, a Liverpool-based limoncello brand. The pair met when they were both working as cocktail bartenders in Miyagi, an Allerton restaurant that closed in 2019.

Andy told the ECHO: “When it started, there was no intention to sell it. It got to the point where so many people asked to buy a bottle, when the lockdown came we found an excuse to get out, jumping on our bikes to deliver bottles to drop off to people in the community. The pair began attending markets, such as Good Market, held in St Barnabas Church on Penny Lane. As their customer following grew, the limoncello drinks began to be stocked in other restaurants, such as Luca on Allerton Road, Il Forno on Duke Street and A Tavola in Madison Square.
