My friend nearly had a heart attack when I suggested using a microplane
to remove the zest. I can't imagine what he would do if I suggested
drinking before the three months were up. His Limoncello was amazing.

I will just have to taste it after a month and then decide whether or
not it is worth it continue filtering.
