4-6 portions (dependent on the size of the pineapple)
One of our favorite pre-dinner drinks, especially in Summer. As one of our friends

Limoncello is a famous Italian liqueur which is infused with lemon zest and sweetened
with sugar. The addition of thyme to the recipe adds an underlying depth to this
decadent drink. When ready store the Limoncello in the freezer and serve directly from
there in shot glasses.
