......to say limoncello tastes and smells like toilet cleaner?

[20thcenturyschizoidwoman]

Not that I have ever tasted toilet cleaner.

DD bought me a bottle as a treat and I tried some last night ....

She was bit put out - apparently she loves it - but I think her drinking it in Italy makes it taste better

I am now in the dog house

I think it's just like Lemon Fairy washing up liquid. Hate it!

Chill it in the fridge. It will make it taste much better.

you can send it to me 20th century woman (presumably a KK lover like me) but not a Limoncello lover like me! I adore it! Heaven on ice.

YABVVU!
I'll have it!!

Put it in the freezer for a bit but no YANBU

I put it in the fridge --- still tasted like loo cleaner!

Apparently 'grandma and grandpa put it on their ice cream in Italy'

Boak.......

Good for them I say

You can have it as I 'talk to the wind'

Yeah try drinking it ice cold (fridge not cold enough). Also, it might just be not very nice limoncello unfortunately. I love it, but someone bought be a bottle once in the States that tasted completely rank and synthetic.

Love the stuff, send it to me please!

Retsina tastes like pine toilet cleaner iirc

Yabvu unless it's just a bad bottle

I think it's great in Italy too! Not so great here . . .

So... You guys have tasted loo cleaner and washing up liquid? Ewwwwww!

but the wind, as you very well know, does not hear.
Just pop it in to the post to Gateshead, there's a love!

Yabvu! Send it to me, I want it! Put it on ice cream?

There is good limoncello and there s bad limoncello! I suspect you just have a nasty bottle...the good stuff is divine..,though I like mine room temp rather than cold.

I love it, but I have to say that if my Dd had bought me it as a treat I would have knocked it back without comment rather than upset her. Mind you I've yet to find a drink I don't like so she would have been on to a winner

I love the home made stuff. Was on holiday and bought a bottle to shot with my husband and it tasted bogging, no way the same.

Mmm love limoncello - currently have the regular and creamy varieties in the freezer

Italians will probably recoil in horror at this, but Limoncello is lovely with lemonade it needs diluting down to make it at all palatable

I cant even think about the L word without feeling iffy.

On honeymoon in lovely Sorento: It tasted like lemon sherbet to me and the last thing i remember was saying - 'yeah ok go on, we'll sit on the balcony and i'll have a small glass' .....

Ye gods. I knocked it back. At 7pm DH had to dine alone as i was passed out on the bed. (They seated him in the corner table, glancing at him with pity. Probably thought we'd had a row )

Someone gave me a bottle. I said thank you of course. Didn't even know what it actually was (I'd heard the name in passing) until reading this. So it's sort of an Italian liqueur? It must taste rather tarte?

Ooh, I love it! Marvellous stuff! YABVVU.

Eponas where was your hotel in sorrento? We stayed there too!

Love lemonchello but it does taste of washing up liquid!

If you put in the freezer its far nicer
