Aloha! ::grin:: Welcome to the list.
Someone spoke of Limoncello on the list a while back during a discussion of
cordials so hopefully they will surface again, but in the mean time, you may
wish to check on a book called Naples at Table: Cooking in Campania by Arthur
Schwartz. Unfortunately I don't remember if he had a documentable source for
it, but he did have some interesting info about the drink and a recipe for it
that you could have a peek at. I saw the book in a store in Bailey's
Crossroads before I left Atlantia, but its also listed on Amazon.com so its
most likely still available. I'll send you separately the recipe someone
posted on the list at that time, though for some idiot reason, I don't have
their name or email attached to the copy. I hate it when that happens...
Cheers!
