I first heard of limoncello via my Italian professor. She came to class a bit late one day, and was particularly entertaining and delightful that session.

I was feeling fancy one evening after a tasty prix fixe meal, and couldn’t resist a housemade limoncello listed on the novel of a drink menu. Served chilled, it was a light, sweet, citrusy concoction. Also, potent. I probably shouldn’t have been in charge of directions after dinner; I finally knew how my professor must have felt after that teeny-tiny sample of limoncello in her office: silly.
