limoncello
Amalfi Coast tipple
Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur, bright yellow and intensely citrus-flavored, traditionally made by steeping lemon zest in grain alcohol and sweetening with simple syrup.
Served chilled as a digestif after meals: We finished dinner with tiny glasses of limoncello.
The drink originates from southern Italy, particularly the Amalfi Coast and Capri.
