Lemoncello

Anybody have any experience making this? The lemon tree in my backyard has about 60 ripe lemons. I have been making lemonade from them the past week and I'm going to try a Lemoncello next. Got about 10 lemons peeled and I've removed the pith (sp). Going to steep them in a pitcher with a bottle of vodka.

Drink with caution. We broke some out at my law school graduation party and several people ended up jumping into the lake.

i have never made it, but i know domenica has a little different way of doing it that seems very interesting. They hang whole lemons in cheesecloth inside a jar suspended above the alcohol--and the flavor gets in purely through evaporation and condensation.

I was talking to my neighbor yesterday and he said he makes it. Uses Everclear as the base and steeps the rhines for 3 months. I'd never heard of it til yesterday.

Yep. Everclear is superior to Vodka for Limoncello IMO.

I've down it many times. Use the zest from 8-10 lemons per 1/5 or everclear and let sit in a cool dry place for a couple months. Gently swirl the bottle every few days. Strain the zest out and infuse with simple syrup. Make it as sweet or as strong as you desire.

Very easy to make. I just got back from the Almalfi Coast in Italy where Lemoncello is made. You pretty much soak the lemon peel in grain alcohol, or vodka until the peel become hard and almost crispy like a chip.

I don't know about making it, but anytime I've been in a group that started drinking it, the party has gotten way more out of control than with any other alcohol. I guess people just don't realize how much alcohol is in it. Either that, or lemons make people want to party.

Same here. Disscovered it in Italy last year and started making it. My recipe is similar. Anything citrusry works.
I take 2-3 pounds each of oranges and lemons. Peel them without the pith...seperately. Take a bottle of everclear and mix with regular vodka. Then cut in half and make lemoncello and orangecello with each half. Rest 2 weeks to 4 months then strain and mix with the syrup. Freeze for a week and you have a god dessert drink.
I leave the orange resting a month anf the lemons about 3. I prefer the oranges. Would love to try tangerines or grapefruit to mix it up.

Went there a few years ago and was amazed with the size of the lemons. They were as big as a large grapefruit!
The Amalfi coast has to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
