We enjoyed this but found it a bit thin. We have some ripe lemons on our tree so we might try commentor Heidi's suggestion for lemon syrup. In the meantime, an added 5ml Cointreau filled it out quite nicely for us. This is one we will enjoy experimenting with.
Shook out very nicely indeed Heidi. Thanks so much for the tip. And, as you say, "different drink", so we felt at liberty to call it 'Heidi's Limoncello Cream Delux'. Having added your 15ml lemon syrup and loved it, we decided to go a step further and added 7.5ml Montenegro Amaro. You be the judge but we think it adds depth. We're sure that you have your own luscious lemon syrup recipe but, just for the record, here's ours: heat 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice and 1 3/4 cups of white sugar in a pan; bring to the boil and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes to thicken a little; remove from the heat, add 1/2 cup lemon juice and allow to cool. Adding the juice at the end, to our taste, contributes a fresh zesty element to the deep and luscious boiled syrup. Best wishes.

btw not having ginseng bitters, our work-around was four drops grapefruit bitters, two drops lavender bitters, one drop barrel aged bitters and one drop celery bitters. Purely speculative.
