It's not sweet, it's meant to be a bit bitter. Just the oil from the orange peel shouldn't affect the abv too much. I think there's a limit to the abv you're allowed to sell here.

Buy 45/50% vodka in duty free or a good supermarket - we use blue Smirnoff for limoncello.

How do they get it completely clear if it's brandy? I know it's also almost twice as alcoholic as other triple sec.
