Making Limoncello
I use Smirnoff vodka because it's relatively cheap and widely available in 100 proof form, which you need for limoncello. I filter it with a Brita filter to make it even better though. You can steep with the zest for as little as a few days but I think 30 days is a minimum. The zest will turn white when it loses all its oil to the liquor. I keep a lot of mine in the basement or in a closet in the house. I don't think it matters much. You can see my results at my blog, limoncelloquest.com.
Limoncello?
The proper way is straight up and straight out of the freezer. I often pour it into a rocks glass filled with large ice cubes though. How did La Boniche escape your list of favorite restaurants?
