Steps:
- Zest lemons, making sure to get the outermost part of the skin and avoid the white pith.

- Pour alcohol into the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer; discard lemon zest. Stir well.
- Pour limoncello into thick, freezer-safe glass bottles. Store in the freezer for at least 2 weeks before serving.
