Sounds very nice Susie, one question though. What on earth is limocello?
Hi Robert, thank you! Limoncello is a lemon liquor which comes from Italy...and your local supermarket..! It's about £10 a bottle and equally is lovely served cold over ice with tonic. You can replace with lemon juice if you prefer not to use alcohol.
Thanks Susie, I'll give it a try.
