Always use<\/span><b> freshly squeezed lime juice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rather than bottled varieties, as the brightness and acidity are essential for balancing the limoncello&#8217;s sweetness.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure your limoncello is properly chilled beforehand, and opt for a <\/span><b>high-quality Italian brand<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to maintain authenticity \u2014the difference in flavour is remarkable.
