Homemade Limoncello (Limoncello Fatto in Casa) vs Granizado de Limón (Spanish Lemon Slushie)

Both drinks are built on lemon, but they draw on different parts of the fruit. Limoncello uses only the yellow zest, steeped for weeks in 95% grain alcohol, then sweetened with a cooled sugar syrup and aged into a strong, aromatic liqueur served ice-cold from the freezer. Granizado de Limón relies on fresh juice stirred into syrup, frozen and scraped repeatedly with a fork until it turns light, flaky and tart. One is slowly sipped, the other eaten immediately, with mint only as an optional garnish.
