how about trying to make your own,its easy you only need a few ingredients and time .
this is the last of my stash from last year .
this recipe is from Italy alas not my own.

ingredients.

10 lemons (i used bergamont  i like the taste)
1 bottle of vodka use one you want to drink
31/2 cups water
21/2 cups sugar

using a peeler remove the rind from the lemons , keep the lemons for lemon curd or what ever you like .steep the lemon rind in the vodka in a large jar at room temp with a cover on top for 4 days ..
make sugar syrup with water and sugar and cool,pour over the lemon mix and leave overnight at room temp,next day strain through mesh strainer,transfer into bottles and hide in your wardrobe ,you need to be strong and leave for month ,then put in the freezer and have a party.
