Cheers–The colorful, trendy limoncello

Although limoncello was originally a digestivo—an alcoholic beverage served just after a meal—that is best served cold, it has become a much-requested ingredient in colorful, trendy cocktails. It is easy and relatively inexpensive to make. Its only ingredients are sugar, water, lemon zest, alcohol [Everclear or 100-proof vodka] and time [anywhere from one week to more than one month] to mature.
