6.5 cups vodka (at least triple distilled)
12 lemons
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
3 lemons
- Using a peeler peel the yellow lemon rind off lemons making sure not to get the white part.
- Add vodka & lemon peels to glass container & store in a dark spot for 2 months.
- After 2 months make simple syrup by boiling sugar & water. Let cool.
- Strain lemon vodka mixture and discard peels.
- Juice the 3 lemons and combine lemon juice, simple syrup and lemon vodka for limoncello. Keep in the fridge and serve cold. Cheers!
Tip; adding lemon juice can make it a little tart and cloudy, personal preference to add or not.
This was inspired by our friends Tom & Nancy. When you go to their home, you feel like family. Whether they are serving their Limoncello, or another specialty refreshment, along with delicious meals, all is served with love!
