Summary
If you've ever been to the Amalfi Coast, or most parts of Italy, you're often offered a glass of limoncello after your meal. This delicious, lemon-flavored liqueur is one of the tastes that can transport us back to Italy in just one sip. It's like a sweet explosion of lemon in your mouth and oh-so delicious.
