I’m running off to the world famous Friday market in Ventimiglia, Italy, but before I go I wanted to share a shot of the lovely bottle of Lemoncello my friend brought by last night, along with 2 lemons from her tree… my kind of hostess gift.
This beverage is very popular down here, makes sense with all of the citrus I’m seeing. Many restaurants offer you a shot as a digestive after meals.
I’ve yet to try my hand at this concoction, but I’d like to try to make it with limes someday. Click on lime~a~cello to see why and for an easy recipe in case you feel like bottling up some sunshine this weekend.
That orange is actually on my tree! I planted a little “grove” on the patio on my last visit and now I’m absolutely giddy to enjoy the fruition of my efforts!
Have a nice weekend!

Emily, you know we are all living vicariously through you, right? 🙂 I'm a huge fan of Limoncello – a friend gave me a bottle for Christmas. Love to use it in French 75s instead of lemon juice – really gives them a KICK! Have fun! XOXO
