Beverages in Italy- Liquor

The most common Italian liquor is lemoncello. There tons of different varieties of lemoncello, even the way it is packaged can vary greatly. Just look in any of the tourist shops and you will see many different shaped bottles of the lemoncello. If you have never had lemoncello, it is like a lemon head, only sourer. Another famous Italian liquor is Disaronno Amaretto, or any amaretto for that matter. An amaretto is an Italian almond flavored liquor. In America, Disaronno Amaretto can be rather expensive. In Italy, a liter of Disaronno costs as much as a liter of Jack Daniels in supermarkets (16 Euro). Lemoncello is also reasonably priced in Italy compared to back in the States.
