Ethrog or Citron
Here's a nice post about the citron, not one of the more popular, well-known, or useful of citrus fruits. At times it's tough to know what fruit or plant ancient texts are referencing, but if you like this sort of thing, you might see if you can round up a copy of Michael Zohary's Plants of the Bible published about 30 years ago, or a number of other similar books.

When I was a student 40+ years ago I spent a summer in the Cyclades islands in Greece and remember drinking a wonderful liqueur which I was told by locals was made from citrons. I've been looking for this magical beverage ever since, with no luck - do you happen to know what it is? If not, maybe I'll go back to the Cyclades ...
Always thought limoncello was a liqueur made from citron. Here's one example. Or something even called Etrog liqueur.
