Limoncello Recipe Hunt

[Cattapilla]

My Everclear is only 120 and too wimpy for a tincture, so I'm looking for a Limoncello Recipe that's tried and true so I can put this strong spirit to use. Plus limoncello is tasty!

Only method i know of involves hanging fresh organic lemons in cheese cloth suspended over the everclear but not touching in a sealed jar for like 6 months. Keep dark at room temp. You will know when it is ready for next step when the lemons are completely white. Thèn you mix with simple syrup to taste. Then enjoy.

The recipe that I know is add lemon zest to the everclear. Let it steep at room temperature for a week, add simple syrup to taste, then strain off the solids.

Same principle, the long version is a little less bitter ime. It all comes down to how patient you are.

 

[Bruno8437]

It comes out smoother if you take care not to get any of the pith when you zest the lemons.

True.
