Steps:
- Using a potato peeler, remove the rinds from the lemons, leaving all or as much of the pith on the lemon as possible (the white part). Too much pith and limoncello will be bitter.
- Place the lemon peels in a covered glass container with the Everclear and let sit for 7 days.
- On the 8th day, strain the lemon peels from the Everclear and discard.
- To make the simple syrup (sugar and water), add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan on medium heat. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool to room temp and add to the Everclear. You can serve immediately or place in the freezer to chill.
HOMEMADE LIMONCELLO
If you have yet to try limoncello, you are in for a sweet treat! It's an Italian lemon liquor that my nonna would always serve in chilled glasses after a big family feast. My father grew up in Sicily, where lemon trees are abundant, but limoncello can be found all over southern Italy. It's lovely when sipped straight out of the freezer, poured over vanilla ice cream or spun into cocktails, like my Italian 75 or Spicy Italian Margarita. Cheers!

Steps:
- Zest just the yellow portion of the lemon peels with a rasp grater, avoiding any of the bitter white pith. You should have about 1/4 cup zest. Transfer the zest to a jar or other airtight container. Add the vodka, seal and shake to combine. Set aside in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks.
- Strain the infused vodka through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. You may need to line the sieve with a coffee filter to catch all of the zest. Discard the zest (or dehydrate it and add to the salt for rimming my Spicy Italian Margarita).
- If making your own simple syrup, combine the sugar with 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
- Combine 3/4 cup of the simple syrup (or more, if desired) with the infused vodka. Store in an airtight bottle in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Tips:
- Use high-quality lemons: The quality of your lemons will greatly impact the taste of your limoncello freeze. Look for organic lemons with a bright yellow color and a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them: Zesting the lemons before juicing them will help release the essential oils, which will give your limoncello freeze a more intense flavor.
- Use a good quality vodka: The vodka you use will also impact the taste of your limoncello freeze. Look for a vodka that is at least 80 proof and has a neutral taste.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your limoncello freeze is a matter of personal preference. Start with 1 cup of sugar and add more to taste.
- Chill your limoncello freeze before serving: Limoncello freeze is best served chilled. You can chill it in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with a lemon twist: When serving your limoncello freeze, garnish it with a lemon twist to add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Limoncello freeze is a refreshing and delicious frozen drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a cool and refreshing treat, give limoncello freeze a try.
