Ciao limoncello

Limoncello is a sweet lemon-forward liquor that originated in the early 20th century in Southern Italy along the Sorrento peninsula. It is made from the zest of Sorrento lemons, which are famous for their fragrant aroma and bright yellow color. Due to its sweet and refreshingly dessert-like qualities, it is commonly served as an after-dinner digestif and is meant to be savored and sipped slowly.  As the popularity of the Limoncello recipe spread through Italy, it became a tradition amongst many families, with recipes being passed down for generations. Due to the relatively low cost and effort for an at-home recipe, Limoncello has remained a popular liqueur still to this day. A recipe can vary in many ways, but it always consists of high-proof alcohol as the base (in ours, we use a neutral-grain spirit), then the zest of lemons is added to steep for several days or even weeks. Once the flavors have been fully infused into the alcohol, the liquid is strained, and sugar is added.&nbs
