A familiar sight across the island, often made with locally produced limoncello rather than imported bottles. One to keep an eye out for is Leila’s Limoncello, a small-batch version that leans into fresh citrus flavour without being overly sweet. Paired with prosecco and soda, it’s crisp, bright and very easy to drink.

Now it’s simply a question of where to sit down with one. Valletta has plenty of rooftop bars, many looking straight out over the harbour as the sun starts to sink. Over in Spinola Bay, things feel a bit busier, with tables looking over the water and a steady evening buzz, while Balluta Bay tends to be a touch calmer. For a different vibe in the south, the Three Cities are hard to beat, especially later on when it all softens and the waterfront comes into its own. Book a table, enjoy the sunset and Saħħa (cheers) to a great time in Malta!
