    bad recipe... these 'quick fixes' are not going to get you traditional limoncello... it takes up to 4 months to get it right and NO ZEST... long strips of the peels...

    Aah, I was going to write up my own limoncello recipe, but yours looks better! I've been making all kinds of -cellos this summer in an adventurous preparation for my next term starting!

    mmm, I have friends addicted to Limoncello added to champagne. I now know what to give them for their next garden party! Thanks, this is much cheaper than buying it!

    It sounds delicious!! Does the harsh vodka taste disappear? I usu. don't drink anything with vodka (except Long Island Iced Tea).
