How to make it

  • Zest the lemons making sure not to include any pith. Add zest to alcohol, stir and place in covered container. Store in cool, darkened area for 2 to 3 weeks.
  • After sitting for 2 or 3 weeks; combine sugar and mineral water and gently heat just until sugar is completely dissolved. Strain alcohol through cheesecloth and stir in sugar water. Again, place in cool, darkened area for an additional 2 or 3 weeks.
  • Pour into bottles, cork and store in freezer.
  • Try adding limoncello to lemonade, pouring over ice cream or drizzling over fruits.
  • I used limoncello in place of sherry in my Christmas tifle...marvelous!

    Been looking for this!Has anyone ever seen the cream version of limoncello? I've purchased it before, but would love to make it.

    I'm attempting to make this into a science. I'm trying a number of recipes and recording the results on my blog. Check it out if you're interested at www.limoncelloquest.com.

    I think Everclear is the only liquor you can get at 190 proof. Mixing it with vodka is a good idea because it's SOOO strong with just 190. They also make a 151 proof Everclear, which is my favorite kind for limoncello making.

    I have always wanted to try making limoncello...never did so I finally gave up and bought some. Your recipe sounds really wonderful....and in the trifle, well, YUM! As soon as I finish off the bottle that I have....well, not single-handedly...I will make a batch!

    Thanks to all for your kind comments! Lucky you Steve, it's best to use slightly greenish lemons, at least that's what I'm told, supposed to have a more intense lemon flavor. Do they?

    Julie,
    Thanks for posting your recipe. It's different from what I've already found. I will use yours when we try this.

    Yay! My lemon tree is full of 100's of nearly ripened lemons so just guess what I will be using some of them for. :)
