Tom Turkey and all the decorations are irresistible: excessive indulgence on the table is inevitable. Abdominal pain is inevitable in the late afternoon, but a glass of Limoncello, a lemon liqueur from the Amalfi Coast, Italy, is the perfect panacea.

The origin of this wonderful, aromatic lemon liqueur is largely controversial. It is widely produced in the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. As you stroll around Piazza Tasso in the centre of Sorrento, there are many limoncello shops. Vendors generously poured samples of their delicious lemon liqueur.

It is made from lemon peel soaked in grappa or grain alcohol and mixed with simple syrup. It is traditionally refrigerated. I put the bottle in the refrigerator for digestion after meals. 

Of course, there are many other ways to enjoy Limoncello. Pour it on the ice cream. Use it in the marinade for roast chicken. Add a little bit to a glass of Prosecco to make a refreshing cocktail, or add whipped cream to homemade desserts. Caravella, $14.10, is the Limoncello brand that I have been buying when I don’t make it myself. The internet is full of recipes and instructions on how to make your own. The key is to find grain alcohol that is not sold in Ohio.

After playing several rounds with Tom Turkey, I was very happy to have a drink. I can watch the football match that day without feeling that Myles Garrett is firing my guts.

Buy this wine (Caravella Limoncello) in the market area of ​​Cuyahoga Falls and Green, where there are several other brands. Jackson Township's Ohio Top Shelf, DeVitis Italian Market and Acme No. 1 sell several different brands, and the Wine Barrel on Home Avenue has Caravella, etc.
