You should try a small glass of chilled Limoncello after your meals, and if you like it, you should buy a bottle to bring it home.

Limoncello is a lemon liqueur produced in the south of Italy, mainly in the region around the Gulf of Naples and the coast of Amalfi. It is made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water, and sugar. It is bright yellow in color, sweet and lemony. Limoncello is easy and inexpensive to produce and little time to mature.

It is traditional for the Italians to serve Limoncello chilled as an after-dinner digestivo. Along the Amalfi coast, it is usually served in small ceramic glasses, as the Amalfi coast is a centre of both ceramic and limoncello production. This tradition has carried into other parts of Italy.
