How to make Limoncello - easy Italian way, amalfi coast

While I was in Italy on the Almalfi coast, I came across a simple recipe for making Limoncello - and since the best limoncello comes from the Almalfi coast, I decided to make some and share the recipe with you :) Simple, easy and tasty! Enjoy PS - If you let it age 5 months (or more) it goes from fantastic to AMAZING 😊

How to make Limoncello
Ingredients
• 8 - 10 large organic lemons
• 1 liter (1 quart) 190 proof alcohol i.e. 95 % alcohol - this is strongly preferred (substitute could be a strong grappa or vodka, but the substitutes are not preferred, but will do)
• 1 liter (quart) of filtered, clean water
• 700 grams (28 oz) white sugar
Process
• Wash and dry the lemons.
• - lemon skins/rind only (a sharp potato peeler works well)
• Put lemon rinds into a gallon container (3-liter min) (3-quart min) and preferably a wide mouth container with lid
• Add 750 ml (a bit more that 3/4 quart) of alcohol. Seal and let stand for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place. (Periodically, give the container a gentle shake (about 2 - 3 times a week)
• Make the sugar syrup: bring the water to a boil, add the sugar, and stir until all sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely.
• Add the sugar syrup to the container with the lemon rinds and alcohol, then add another 250 ml (8 ½ oz) of alcohol. Gently mix.
• Let stand in a cool dark place for 4 - 5 weeks, and during that time, once or twice a week, give the container a gentle shake.
• Pour out the limoncello into another container through a very fine mesh screen then you can filter thoroughly, through a coffee filter for more clarity (or use a cheese cloth to filter)
• You can now bottle your limoncello, place it in the freezer, and begin to drink it (note: if you let it stand in the freezer for 4 more weeks, the flavor will be even better as it will mellow out)
• Enjoy

Hope many people start to make more recipes like this at home! If it helps anyone, I find using a microplane to zest the lemons a little simpler. It helps to avoid accidentally getting too much pith, and you don't need a wide mouthed vessel because of large rinds. At the end, you still pour it over a filter to collect the zest as he has done. Everclear also comes in a 1.75L bottle which can save you ~5$ (and 250ml of alcohol) over buying two .75L bottles, if your store carries it.

[@nicolesawford5548]

Thank you for this great recipe. I always wanted to make some. Please don't throw out your lemon peels because they are still good to use. Chop them up and put in a container and put in the freezer for when you need lemon zest for baking or cooking. Imagine the flavour!

They and also nice as candied peel (chopped, of course) in festive baked goods.

[@josephharper3714]

No, they are not fit for use after this process. They are dried out and brittle. They no longer have any usable properties after the alcohol has rendered out all of the natural moisture and oils.

[@annann4786]

What a good idea, for leftover lemon pills. That would give a flavour to the cakes. Thank you

[@chavetto]

I'll never forget the first time I tried Limoncello. We had a beautiful Italian feast at a winery in Napa. After drinking a lot of good wine our lunch, they brought us a shot of Limoncello as a digestive. I loved it so much I asked for another...then I had a 3rd and then that's when it hit me. That limoncello really packs a punch.

Great recipe, thanks! I love that you don’t waste anything, every drop counts. 😊

[@funkathustra]

Love your videos! Just want to point out that 250 mL of *water* weighs 250g, but other liquids have different densities, so this won't hold. 95% ethyl alcohol (Everclear) is about 0.8 grams / mL, so 250 mL of everclear will weigh about 200g (and conversely, 250g of everclear will be about 313 mL). Milk is roughly the same density of water. Cooking oil is aout 0.9 g/mL, and honey/syrups are about 1.4 g/mL. Anyway, I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thanks!

I bought 2 bottles of limoncello in Positano (they are both the same). The label of the (square) bottles is a painted tile of the city. One we drank, but I still have 1 full bottle (and no I did not discard the empty bottle).

[@mehdiazizi1152]

Thank you so much for this video.2 qestion: 1. Can put in refrigerator or must be in freezer. And 2. Is it possible use honey instead of sugar?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Yes, you can put in fridge, you can even leave it at room temperature if you want - however, serving limoncello ice cold is best. Although I have never used honey, the sugar is just a sweetener, so as long as you used enough honey, it should work but will also alter the taste as well, so keep that in mind 😊

[@glleon80517]

Great video! I have been making limoncello for years. I am curious why the second dose of Everclear? And I decant the lemon-infused spirit before adding the sugar water, since the sugar water sticks to the peels. I find that the peels turn white within about a week indicating the infusion is done.

I was wondering the same thing bc I’ve never come across any other limoncello recipes doing that. Same with adding the sugar water AFTER straining the lemon peels out, not before. I’m sure it tastes just as good but seems like extra unnecessary work.

Emerald Springs and Pure Proof are 2 other brands we’ve tried that will save you a couple bucks over Everclear and deliver the same results. We’ve got access to both the 190 and 151 proof in TX and actually prefer the 151. Still has the “bite”, but you can drink more than one glass without needing to lie down. 😂

It is always kept as a chilled drink and actually the freezer is best. It won't freeze if not diluted too much. Lasts longer there too.

[@awesomebeast7509]

Did you end up getting lemon drunk?

[@josephharper3714]

Don't use vodka unless you have some 100 proof. Even that is just barely strong enough to render the oils from the skin. There is a very specific reason for using the 190 proof. It removes the oils from the skins and becomes a part of the alcohol. Lower proof alcohol doesn't work nearly as well and will produce an inferior product. Take my word for it.

Watched your red wine video first, got hooked and watched the limoncello video. Thanks so much. One plead: could you get a better grip on your glass vessels?

Also, brew newbies...either tend the sugar water constantly, or turn off the heat. It will DEVOUR a pan if it burns. Plus, stainless only, no teflon. Carry on.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Thanks for the feedback 👍👍

[@dougi]

I’m curious if you ever get a thin brownish ring of gunk around where the top of the liquid hits the bottle. We thought it was the Costco organic sugar we were using (which has a brownish tinge when concentrated as syrup). But even filtering that or using white refined sugar leaves a less noticeable ring. Any thoughts why?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

I have never had such a brown ring - perhaps try a different sugar and see what happens - can't think of anything else?

[@diannadavis1362]

make sure the sugar you are using is pure cane sugar and not from sugar beet.

[@gyorgykiszli4269]

I live in Thailand where there is an abundance supply of limes. Would it be possible to make this with limes instead of lemons?

[@kimhayden1212]

Can the peel be candied after soaking in alcohol?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

I have not done that but yes👍👍

[@larrykwart3261]

Thanks for the recipe! FYI, the Density of 190 proof ethyl alcohol is 0.789. 250g would thus be about 318mL. Also, you can remove the turbidity by filtering through a bed of Pharmaceuticl Grade Talcum in a coffee filter.

[@rmd9032]

750ml is the standard size of a liquor bottle. it is called a fifth of liquor because it is 1/5 short of a quart. So 750 ml = 4/5 quarts.

Thanks!!

[@rrrashen]

Nice, but - where/how did you get alcohol in Ontario?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

I actually ordered mine from Alberta and had it delivered but there are. Distilleries in Ontario that will sell it such as Polonee distillery in St Catherines

[@VincentBonaccorso]

what is the strength of the final product? meaning what is the Proof or ABV?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Most limoncello is around 30 ABV plus or minus a few points. This recipe is most likely closer to 45 - 50 ABV. For a weaker version, you can use more sugar water or, use Grappa or Vodka instead of the everclear👍

[@pgsibilo]

13:12 Suggest you cut the Lemon Strips into smaller sizes to make it easier to remove them. But better still, grind the Lemon Strips to allow greater surface contact with the Alcohol.

[@joecioe8566]

I have watch so many recipes for limoncello and none of them agree on the ratio of syrup to grain alcohol. Limoncello is typically 25-30% alcohol (50-60 proof) yours is about 50% or (100 proof). Am I missing something or do you just like it stronger.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

You are not missing anything as there are many different recipes but I was following one that I got while I was in Italy and that's what the recipe called for 👍👍

[@williamreid9308]

The comment is correct, most commercial limoncello is 26% ABV (alcohol by volume) [Pallini], 30% ABV [Gabriello, Bellini, Morey, Lim] & 32% ABV [Caravella (all Italian or Spanish brands)]. Most Scotch, Bourbon is 43% ABV (86 Proof). This recipe at about 50% ABV (100 Proof) will knock your socks off. I suggest diluting further with an additional 3 cups (24 oz.) of water.

[@annann4786]

You are not putting glass bottle full of lemoncello in freezer? Fridge yes, but freezer? Wouldn’t they explode?

Where are you? No way you can buy this alcohol in Ontario. Maybe in Alberta. The only overproof period is Bacardi. Consider doing this again with regular Vodka and give the recipe for this. And hate to tell you, 1 liter is not 1 quart. Details do matter. We usually wait until we are in Florida to make this as lemons in Canada are very poor quality. Sadly with the cost of liquor in Caanda, this does not make sense to make.
