That's a pretty good idea actually. I think I'll wait until the second bottle (that will have aged longer more flavor mingling) because this one has a turpentine/heartburn in a glass flavor going on. Actually it tastes like a sweet margarita made with Pepe Lopez.....:baffled:

If a lot of people want to make this, I will post the actual recipe that my wife went by (not sure about the water/sugar, I guestimated on that one).

good to see you living up to your handle mr. coastie

Your avatar looks like one of those boats I remember seeing on a special some years ago that rescue trapped boaters on the West Coast - the kind where everyone is strapped in and they are built to do complete 360's in the ocean and right themselves.

You ever been on one of those beasties?

Me, I'd be tossing my cookies all over the place.

I was on the test team for the pre production models in the early 90's, and drove them for a couple (7) years. I just gave up my certification on them in January but am still qualified to drive them. I used to drive these too:





I was a crewmember on these (we got the 47' and started testing that):



I don't drive the boats anymore; aches, pains, herniated disks, and I'm the "in charge" guy for the reserve unit now, and do far too much paperwork to even get out on the boats anymore. Was a sad day giving all that fun up....

The funny thing is I'm afraid of heights.....

Some additional info -actual Lemoncello uses Meyer lemons from the Amalfe coast and only the rind shaved from the lemon - the pith (the white part under the rind)is what causes that bitter taste. (fogive all the spelling)

The middle pic model--The ones around the terminal have either M-60's or 50 cals. mounted on the Bow--Bad Ass!

That explains it. Did up a batch and it was on the bitter side.
Will start another today.

Damn good stuff though.

We recently made it with oranges. Yo are right, we do not make it the traditional way (removing the color from the pith), but it works well just the same....
