Limoncello is one of the most refreshing summer drinks for warm days. It's easy to make at home with this authentic, Italian recipe,
to make Limoncello
Rind of 3 lemons (avoid as much of the white skin as possible)
8 oz everclear (120, 151 or 191 proof)
8 oz water
5/8 cup sugar
Take the rind of 3 lemons and put in a clean mason jar
Pour 8 oz of everclear over top and let steep in the fridge for 3 to 5 days
After the steeping time has passed, strain the alcohol lemon mixture into another mason jar, reserving the rinds.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 8 oz of water and sugar. Dissolve sugar.
After sugar has dissolved, add rinds to pan and let cool
Pour everclear mixture into a clean bottle and add cooled water mixture slowly to combine
Store limoncello in the refrigerator and serve chilled
For making limoncello with vodka, try to use the highest proof vodka you can find
Follow the same procedure as above only use 4 lemons and let steep for 1-2 weeks...the result will be a more transparent limoncello rather than opaque and with a lower alcohol content
