Limoncello
Before summer gets all ramped up, let’s just pause for a moment. Slow down time. Yes, it is possible. You’ll want to get an early start on this recipe as it requires a little patience in order to be ready for summer sipping. I enjoy it on its own or by adding a little lemon sparkling water to make it more of a cocktail. Either way, enjoy your time with it. I mean, binge drinking is sooo 1991. Grab your drink, get out on that deck, stoop or just crack a window and let time stand still with a playlist of easy going jams that slow down time.
