Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine the vodka and lemon zest in a 1-quart covered glass jar; let stand at room temperature for 3 days.
  • Make a simple syrup by heating the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and bring to room temperature.
  • Stir the syrup into the jar containing the vodka. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve; discard the lemon zest.
  • Pour the Limoncello into one or more clean glass bottles and cap tightly. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • ***To me it depends on taste of the person making it, for flavor, it can take 1 week for some or up to 3 months for others, it is a personal choice. *** :)

    I have a question about this recipe. Can it be made with other fruits? Maybe strawberries or peaches?

    This looks great. Don't know if I can get 100 proof vodka. Can it be made with less proof?

    The recipe usually ends with "leave unopened for 2 months." It can be a bit raw at first and needs to settle down.
