It is bright yellow in color, sweet and lemony. mmmmm

Lemons for limoncello are picked and washed only with water. They are then fed through a machine which gathers the lemon rinds. The white pith of the lemon should be avoided. Various varieties of lemon are used to produce different flavours. The variety of lemon used is usually dictated by region. The lemons of Amalfi produce a particularly pleasant Limoncello. The rinds are placed into a vat, where they saturate with alcohol for 3 to 5 days. Various alcohols can be used to give varying flavours. Grappa is sometimes used, as is refined pure alcohol. A more refined alcohol maximises the lemon flavour, whereas darker alcohols add complexity.

After saturation sugar and water are added to the vat. A sugar and water solution is sometimes used instead. Higher quality sugars used in the infusion process create a sweeter liqueur. The resulting liquid is then homogenized in a turbo emulsifier for 40 minutes, after which it is bottled.
