Notes

I bought my Limoncello in Naples, Italy but you can find it the the liqueur section of your local liquor store. It tends to be packaged in really pretty bottles that you can keep and repurpose afterwards. When I finish mine I'm planning to fill it with fairy lights and put it on my mantle. 
Enjoy!
