Description
Limoncello—a sexy sipping drink!
Ingredients
- 10 whole Organic Lemons, Peeled
- 4 cups, 3 tablespoons, 1-⅞ teaspoons, ¼ pinches Pure Grain Alcohol
- 3 cups Sugar
- 4-½ cups Water
Preparation
Wash your lemons and dry them well. Remove the peels with your vegetable peeler. Be careful to ONLY peel the rind and NOT the pith (white portion). Place the lemon peels into a large glass container with an wide mouth and an airtight lid. Pour the alcohol on top and seal it with a lid. Keep the container in a cool, dry dark place. Shake it once a day for approximately 10 days.
On the 11th day, boil the water and the sugar, stirring often until well combined, making a simple syrup. Let it cool completely.
Remove the lemon peels from your jar and discard. Strain the liquid with a sieve or coffee filter. Combine the two liquids together. Pour them into the desired bottles and leave them for at least one month before consuming.
Limoncello is best served chilled.

I’m sure this is tasty! But, I don’t drink. I did live in Italy for almost 4 years though and our favorite restaurant would bring us Limone after our meals, a lemony slushy drink, yum! Once with friends we accidentally got the limoncella (whoo! we knew quickly it was the wrong drink). Anyway, not a review, just another fan of Italy!
