What about liquifying the sugar before you mix? If you heat sugar, as if you're making toffee, and bring it to the boil but stop the heat before it starts to change colour, then let it cool, that might work. You only need a tiny bit of water to get it started.

Correct - sort of.
That would allow me to dissolve MORE sugar in the same amount of water. However that won't change its solubility in the grain alcohol (190 proof, 95%) Also, when I cool the limoncello this will make it MORE cloudy, not less.

Use Sweet and Low.

I learned the WW II Underwater Demolition Teams (Frogmen), wore, "trunks with an inflatable belt, canvas shoes and a mask, he said. No neoprene or oxygen tanks for these underwater soldiers of the Pacific. Even the fins didn’t come until later"
No fins.
