Wonderful for those long summer evenings, when it's too hot to go to bed...it will keep the conversation going forever (or at least until the bottle is empty...!)Keep this in the freezer (it won't freeze because of the alcohol in it, but it will become even creamier and more refreshing) and take it out about ten minutes before serving (Prep time includes overnight soaking)

Tips:
- Choose ripe lemons: The quality of your lemons will greatly impact the flavor of your liqueur. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size, have a smooth, unblemished skin, and are brightly colored.
- Use a microplane grater to zest the lemons: This will help you get the most flavor and aroma from the lemon zest.
- Be careful not to overcook the lemon zest: Overcooking can make the zest bitter.
- Use a cheesecloth-lined strainer to strain the liqueur: This will help remove any solids from the liqueur.
- Let the liqueur age for at least 2 weeks before drinking: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
