Oahucruiser Posted October 1, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Would someone who is sailing on the QE2 in the near future please find out if any of the bars stock limoncello? I may buy a small bottle in NY before the world cruise if they don't. Paul, the wonderful bartender on the QM2, said that they order it constantly but it never arrives. I hope it's different on the QE2. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromtheplains Posted October 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I had a limoncello on the QE2 just two weeks ago.:) It is on the bar menu. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msk68 Posted October 2, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I remember talking about limoncello and its cousins, meloncello et al. on one of these forums. I'm planning to pick up some meloncello prior to our Rome departure as you cannot find it here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oahucruiser Posted October 2, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Steve, thanks for letting me know that you had it recently! Hmmm, meloncello sounds wonderful. We have to try that if we can find it somewhere. Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseonly Posted October 2, 2007 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2007 How do you drink lemoncello. Straight on the rocks, or can you mix it with tonic water or something else. Bought some on our Amalfi trip, but cannot remember what they said to mix it with. Thought it was tonic water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliecat Posted October 2, 2007 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I had it on QE2 last month; small pour in a large tumbler with a small amount of ice. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought some on our Amalfi trip, but cannot remember what they said to mix it with. Thought it was tonic water. Right. Keep the bottle in the freezer. Not the fridge. Pour into small glass. Drink. Repeat as necessary Fall over. I'd not mix it with anything - and if you're concerned with authenticity - I've been trained by Fabio, who is a Neopolitan through and through.

Matthew We haven't got room in the freezer for anything else, esp a glass bottle. So I put it in a glass with some ice. The trick is to drink it quickly enough the ice doesn't dilute it. Then fall over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
