Yesterday Reed and I bought a bottle of Arancino, as neither of us had ever had it (WARNING: make sure it is chilled (note the freezer burns on the bottle), it is very strong for those who typically do not drink liquors!). It is a liquor or digestivo that is made from orange rinds, alcohol, water, and sugar. This particular digestivo is made from Tuscany. Much like limoncello (a liquor that is produced in Southern Italy near Naples), this liquor can be store bought or home-made (the home-made versions often being a lot stronger than the store bought versions). The only real requirement for making this liquor is that in order to produce a quality product, the rinds of either the lemon or orange must be soaked for at least 30 to 40 days (this contributes to the vibrant color of the liquor as no fruit juice is added).
