Weekly Whet ~ Limoncello!

by Heidi Lee, 1 week ago

We're in the land of lemons here in the Southwest, and while I love a fresh squeeze (of lemon juice) on a nice piece of salmon or in a lively risotto, there's nothing more fun than making your own limoncello.  This liquer of Italian origin has been enjoyed for over 100 years and is now making the front pages of your favorite food magazines.  This zippy little nip can run over $50.00 a bottle...make your own for less than $8.00 and have a party!!  If you start today, it will be ready by early summer...it's worth the wait!!  Buon Appetito!!!

Yes, there may be some confusion as to the differences between a Classic Chelada and a Michelada, but who really cares?  These Mexican drinks became popular back in the 1940's and 1950's and the people from the country of origin swear by their curative hangover powers.  Hey, Bartender!  I'll take tres, por favor.  Happy Weekend!!!
