Ingredients:-
3 1/3 cups Everclear alcohol 190 proof or vodka (750 ml)
Peel of 6-7 lemons
3 ounces lemon peel preferably fresh-picked or organic (85 grams)
3 cups sugar (625 grams)
3 1/3 water (750 ml)
Directions:-
Step#1- Rinse lemons of any debris. Dry and using a peeler remove peel being careful not to remove the pith.
Step#2- Add alcohol in an airtight glass jar and add lemon peels.
Step#3- Cover the glass jar with aluminum foil and store it in a dark cool place. (I usually put it in my pantry).
Step#4- Let it sit (macerare) for 3 to 7 days. The longer the better.
Step#5- In a pot mix water and sugar and bring to a boil. Once the sugar has melted remove it from heat and let it cool completely.
Step#6- Strain peels from alcohol and mixes them with sugar syrup. Bottle and keep in the freezer until ready to serve. I also keep limoncello glasses in the freezer.
It can be enjoyed immediately. I use limoncello for my desserts, over ice cream or strawberries. So many delicious ways to enjoy anytime.
Salut 🥂

[@syldee8927]

Hello Alessandra, love limoncello! Drink it a lot when in Italy: the last time I was there I brought different flavors to the US. I've not been able to gind a brand comparable to those in Italia. I'm excited to have this recipe & hope to try it soon ( once I purchase needed materials). Grazie, Syl

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Hello Syl, One of my favorite is mandarinetto. My aunt would always make a few bottles to bring back with me. She passed away this past October 🙏🏻 The quality of the citrus is very important, the fresher the better. Let me know how it turns out! Cari saluti 🥰

[@syldee8927]

@@alessandrasfoodislove Hello Alessandra, so sorry to hear about your loss. May God grant her eternal peace. Getting fresh lemons I think are impossible in Maryland; hopefully in the summer I can find some in local farmers stands. Will keep you posted. Syl

Does it have to be so much sugar? What would happen if I used less?

Just less sweet. Thank you for watching.

@@alessandrasfoodislove Thank you.. I talked to a friend who gave me the link and makes it and he uses very little sugar and loves it.

Love your recipes Alessandra, what is ever clear please? is it the same as grain alcohol? Thank you.

Thank you so so much. Ever clear is the brand for grain alcohol and neutral spirit. Sorry for not being clear. Enjoy your limoncello. 💕

Alessandra Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe can you please tell me how much water and how much sugar is in the recipe. Thanks 🙏🏻🌹♥️🇦🇺

Making this! What can I do with all the leftover lemons? Should I freeze them?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much for watching. Make my delicious Greek Lemon chicken or squeeze the lemons and freeze in an ice cube tray. Use in drinks or water. 💕💕

[@mikeyvisser8740]

How would you make limoncello cream?

[@LUNARTICK007]

if you take out and add the lemon peel from the alcohol and put them into the boiling sugar, it extracts even more lemon flavours, .

[@karengadaleta7557]

I have made limoncello in the past & they say to let the peels & Everclear sit for a month. Is that a little overkill ? I like your recipe.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you for watching! Absolutely an overkill! The trick is fresh beautiful citrus. I think a week is plenty of time. You’ll see the citrus becomes colorless and very stiff because all the flavor are released in the alcohol. Keeping it a month is too much. Let me know how it turns out. 🥰🍋🍋

[@judichristopher4604]

AWWWWWW. I need to buy those Limoncello Shot Glasses... Can we buy them here in the US?
