For me limoncello is a special reminder of some wonderful trips to Italy in the past, when we thought we might live out there. When making it the hardest part is paring off the peel very carefully to make sure no bitter white pith gets steeped in the vodka. Now it just needs a daily shake for a week or two, then I'll add a little sugar syrup, strain carefully and it will provide the perfect after dinner Christmas treat. I particularly love that I managed to get lemons wrapped in tissue paper, as a child I collected these and now so rarely see them.
