    I got the Spirytus for [ch8800]$55 and that made about 1.2 Litres of Limoncello at 40%. The local stuff was 25% and cost about $42 for 500 ml.
    40%? Thatll put hair on your chest.
    The Italian stuff i buy is 32% and i thought that was pretty damn strong.

    So your method costs about $50 a litre to make, whilst my imported stuff is close to double that.
    Wow, thats a pretty impressive saving right there, especially if the taste is as superior as you suggest.

      Probably.

      I once worked with an Italian lad whos father made his own wine.
      Everyone at work swore you could see his hair grow if he sat still; like bamboo.

      I used to pick him up and drive him to work and remember on one occasion waiting for him to finish shaving and then we had a quick bite of breakfast and went to work.
      When we walked in, the 2IC stopped him and proceeded to tell him off for not shaving and I had to intervene and swear Id seen him do it only 1/2 an hour before. ;D

      That stuff would "grow hair on a billiard ball", as the expression goes.

        ;D Sounds like a guy I used to work with, produced a 3 day growth in the space of a day.

        Cant wait to try my first batch of homemade lemoncello, just one more day of resting then I can try it!

            Fantastic stuff, had a few mates plow through the first bottle of it. Now Im trying to decide what the best way of drinking it is. Mixing it with mineral water seems to be the overall favourite, for alcoholic Solo. But I prefer it with an espresso.
