Limoncello

An tangy Italian lemon liqueur.

This specific recipe comes from my Zia Rosie, but everybody in my family makes limoncello a bit differently. Limoncello is easily altered to fit the taste of whoever is making it! My family usually makes limoncello to share and enjoy with friends. It is a sweet and tangy classic.
