Limoncello tastes best in Italy ~ in NAPOLI overlooking the BAY !  

 

This poem is presented as partially biliungual  free verse SONNET ~ OK

 

The litre of alcohol in the recipe could be provided by a litre of VODKA

or a litre of WHITE RUM.  That would result in a final alcohol content

of about 17% proof !  Itallian lemons are big so you might need 12 !
