My girlfriend's parents make Limoncello from lemons they grow. The new batch is ready near the end of November.
Their method is to skin a ton of lemons. Soak them in Everlcear or similar grain alcohol for a few weeks until it turns a bright yellow. Then cut it with an equal amount of simple syrup. Add more lemon juice to taste. Let this age for at least a month. Damn this stuff is good, but DEFINATELY drunk in small quantities!
For those of you not familiar with it, Limoncello is a lemon flavored liquor. it is commonly used as a digestif. Translated, that means another reason to drink an alcoholic beverage. My girlfriend's family is very Italian. Her mother was actually born in Italy. Beer before dinner, wine with dinner, Limoncello after dinner and your drink of choice for the rest of the night.
