Think of the intense lemon flavor in Lemon Heads candy, in italy, in liquid form with alcohol.

Thats Limoncello

Limoncello (lee-mon-cello) is one of Italy's favorite drinks yet its hardly recognized in the states! Its sweet but also super tart. Some people mix it while others like it super chilled or on the rocks. Its a great aperitif, or whatever you wish to make it into.

Though its hard to find, it is definitely available in the US - you'll just have to ask around.

Spritz . Clean . Mix . Blend . Bring for Spring ~ It's a keeper!

I first got this in an Italian restaurant in Stockholm (!) after a lengthy 6-course meal of excellent Roman/Tuscan dishes. They put their glasses (sort of a long shot glass) into the freezer before pouring in the limoncello, and it was experience.

Since that time I have always brought back a bottle from Italiy - preferably from Amalfi where they have the best (don't kill me anyone) oranges and lemons in whole of Italy. (via loft3)

Love anything lemon. This rocks.
