Help – I Can’t Find Bottles for my Limoncello
I’ve been searching everywhere and I haven’t been able to find appropriate bottles for storing my limoncello. The bottles in the liquor store are square with a screw cap and hold about 1/2 a liter. Of course I have the vodka bottles I used to make the liqueur, but they are not attractive and they are a bit too large to store in the freezer.
I’ve checked in the home stores (Linen & Things, etc), the dollar stores, Target, Pier 1, and on eBay. I live on the east coast, just outside Philadelphia. Ikea had some bottles with the flip lids like a Grolsch beer, but they are very difficult to open at room temperature, I can’t imagine what it would be like coming out of the freezer.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Check out this link. I like the corked bottles on the right.

This looked like a good option at first. I went to order some bottles today and the shipping was more than the cost of the bottles. They wanted $18 to ship twelve little glass bottles. I’m going to keep searching.

I’ve definitely been there. I’ve found some in places you wouldn’t expect. I’ve found both jars for infusion and bottles at Home Goods and I’ve found reasonably priced flip top bottles at a Crate & Barrel outlet store. You’d think they’d be too expensive there but they’re actually comparable, even before the crazy shipping charges you mentioned. Those online places only make sense if you order hundreds at once.

Update – There is an 89 cent store near work. They had red and white vine vinegar in bottles that look just like the one above. It holds about 1/3 of a liter, perfect as a gift or to fit in the freezer. These have a screw top, which I think it better than cork if you are putting it in the freezer.
