Limoncello
In ancient Greek mythology, ambrosia was reported to be the nectar of the gods. That being said, it’s pretty obvious that the ancient Greek gods never had limoncello, or ambrosia would have a different title.
Limoncello is a lemon liqueur that originates in the south of Italy, and is served well chilled in the summer months any day ending in the letter ‘y”. Traditionally served after dinner (but great at any time!), limoncello is quickly gaining popularity in the U.S.
Unfortunately for those of us in the limoncello-loving community, two things hinder our limoncello consumption. The first is the restricted sale of grain alcohol, a key ingredient in the making of limoncello. The second is the widespread sale of commercial limoncello, which is just a sugary, watered-down version of limoncello.
Fortunately, good limoncello can easily be made at home. [continued after the jump...]
