Hey - super! Thanks for the recipe. And, if you want to be featured as a Sipster Submission, please send any recipe you love, and a photo, and I'll post you on The Liquid Muse!
I found a guy, Fulvio, who owns a quaint Italian restaurant in Hollywood, Florida--properly called "Fulvio's"--who makes his own Lemoncello. His is cream-based, using grain alcohol, and tastes like a lemon-milkshake. Two of those and your night is over.
But, damn they are good.
