Sounds nice, but to my personal taste I'd modify it a bit. Skip the nuts and fruit, and spices, and drink the wine : )


Here's a recipe local to this region, for Limoncello, traditional after-meal beverage in the part of Italy near here:

Put the zest (but not pith) of 12 lemons in a litre of pure alcohol, typically 95%. Vodka does not work as as substitute, as it isn't concentrated enough to pull the flavours.
(if possible use organic lemons, as the peels of commercial ones are not always regulated as being edible goods, with consequences for the selection of tree treatment chemicals)
Let sit covered for a week, maybe two.
Make a syrup of 1 litre of water and 1 kg sugar. Heat gently to get it to dissolve, then let cool.
Strain the zest/alcohol mixture and mix it with the syrup, which will make it turn cloudy.
Bottle. Serve straight up, ice cold in tiny thick glasses from the freezer, after a meal.

It won't go bad as such, but will taste best in the first few months.
