Limoncello
Description
I got this limoncello recipe in Italy during our stay at a private guesthouse. This refreshing, mildly alcoholic drink instantly won me over. Its incredible aroma and pleasant chill are exactly what you need on a hot day. Limoncello is served almost frozen, with ice cubes floating in the glass. I highly recommend trying my limoncello recipe—not only for summer, but also as a festive drink. I also like to garnish and enhance my limoncello with mint. Good luck and enjoy! The drink is ready to serve.
