This Italian lemon based alcoholic drink is perfect for every summer party and its fresh flavor will immediately take you to a sunny beach! The traditional process to make it is very long, but you can speed it up using a pressure cooker to have a drink anytime you want with zero effort! But pay close attention: heating alcohol at high pressure is not 100% safe, since the alcoholic vapor can ignite both inside and out the Instant Pot, so that it may be dangerous!
