This is a great lemony flavored vodka that is great for sipping after dinner, or anytime. I always try to keep some in the freezer.

Number Of Ingredients 4

15 thick skinned lemons
2 (750 ml) bottles 100 proof vodka
4 cups sugar
5 cups water

Steps:

  • Wash the lemons well with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any residue of pesticides or wax.

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel the lemons.
  • If you do get some of the pith with the zest, carefully scrape it away with the tip of a knife.

  • Cover the jar and let it sit forty days at room temperature in a dark cabinet.
  • Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring it to a boil and cook until thickened, about five minutes.
  • Let the syrup cool before adding it to the limoncello mixture, along with the other bottle of vodka.
  • Cover and return to the cupboard for another 40 days.
  • Strain the limoncello into bottles and discard the lemon zest.
  • Store them in a cupboard or the freezer.

I followed the recipe exactly and my Limoncello turned out cloudy. Not sure what went wrong.

The Limoncello was easy to make and tasted delicious, but I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

Turned out great! I substituted honey for sugar and it was still delicious.

I didn't have any vodka, so I used white rum instead. Worked perfectly!

My Limoncello came out a bit too strong, but it still tasted good. I'll try using less lemon zest next time.
