Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup of good quality Vodka
  • scant 3/4 cup of good quality Gin
  • scant cup of water (boiled and cooled)
  • 8/10 lemons (or more, especially if you use small limes)

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the lemons and dry well. Remove the rind (no white) and cut into small pieces. I use a peeler, it is much simpler.

Step 2

Put alcohol and the zest in a glass jar sealed for 15 days minimum, in a dark place. After this time the zest will be bleached and will color the alcohol.

Step 3

Prepare a sugar syrup with water and sugar. About 5 minutes after boiling. Turn off heat and let cool (the syrup must cool completely).

Step 4

Mix alcohol and syrup. Add in a beautiful fresh lemon zest to add more flavor.

Step 5

The next day, filter and bottle.

Step 6

Wait 1 month before drinking. Serve in small chilled glasses with the bottle containing the limoncello.
