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.
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.
