If you're unfamiliar with lemoncello, you are in for a treat!  Per Wikipedia: Limoncello (Italian pronunciation: [limonËÂA?tÊÂA?ÉÂA?llo]) is an Italian lemon liqueur mainly produced in Southern Italy... Though there is debate about the exact origin of the drink, it is at least one hundred years old.[2][3]


Traditionally, it is made from... lemon zest, or peels without the pith... steeped in grain alcohol until the oil is released. The resulting yellow liquid is then mixed with simple syrup.


Limoncello is traditionally served chilled as an after-dinner digestivo. Along the Amalfi Coast, it is usually served in small ceramic glasses themselves often chilled.


Limoncello is the second most popular liqueur in Italy [4] but has recently become popular in other parts of the world. Restaurants in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand are increasingly offering limoncello on their beverage and dessert menus. Rometti Limoncello is an increasingly popular ingredient in cocktails. Limoncello imparts a strong lemon flavor without the sourness or bitterness of lemon juice.
