Last week, while at my parents house, I was watching an old episode of Everyday Italian when my mom turned to me and said, "Let's make that cocktail!" With its vibrant color it looked amazing, so we sent my dad to the store to pick up the ingredients. The recipe calls for maraschino liqueur, a spirit that's pretty difficult to find.
The next best substitute, according to the alcohol specialist at G&G Market, is kirschwasser. Although it didn't have the bright orange hue, the cocktail was spectacular: not too sweet with a hint of fizz.
Limoncello is an unexpected flavor that makes the drink tart. The recipe makes enough for six cocktails, so it's perfect for entertaining. To look at Giada's recipe, read more.

2I agree with the others, this sounds tasty.......I'll have to find a liquor store that sells that liquor
3YUM! Limoncello is my favorite!
4i think that it's really pretty but i don't know if the ingredients are something that i would be into. i would love for my mom to turn to me and offer to make cocktails with me but she doesn't drink so it's not nearly as much fun as you have!
