Default use of 'lemoncello' or 'limoncello' in English writing

The Oxford English Dictionary has no entry for limoncello (or
lemoncello) , which is a lemon-flavoured Italian liqueur.

The newsletter says they are putting together an entry but the
earliest appearance they have (in English usage, I stress - I'm sure
the Italians have used the term for decades) is 1993.

I am going to look at some of my more chatty books on Italian food to
see if something turns up, but does anybody else know of an earlier
use?
