    Louched limoncello = the best. It’s a sign of all the goodness (lemon oils) in the drink!!!❤

      IMHO, a lot of useless work.
      1) Always wash lemons, organic or not.
      2) it is not necessary to blend the zests
      3) scientific studies show that after 72 hours the zests have released all the characteristic substances of limoncello into the alcohol
      4) the syrup can also be obtained cold

    I believe 80 proof is around 40% ABV or close to it. Enjoy :)

    Other Brother could be Ed Sheeran's father. Did you check on that? Also, can zesting the lemons yield the same as peeling? Thanks for the shortcut. I will give it a try.

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  Před 4 lety

      Rob Predolich - I used to zest for limoncello, and I love the microplane zester. Really, it’s one of my favorite kitchen tools. But I don’t think it’s t to her best choice for limoncello. Assuming you can manage to peep the peels without snaring the pith, I’d definitely say that’s the way to go. Good luck!

  • @TheMotownPhilly
    @TheMotownPhilly Před 3 lety +1

    Liked the video and especially the short cut. Do you make lemoncello with cream ever? Also I've seen videos where honey is used as a sweetener have you ever used it?

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  Před 3 lety +1

      Glad you enjoyed. I’ve never used cream but I’ve totally enjoyed drinking it - crema. I’m a little concerned about spoilage with cream - heard or read of using powdered milk. Doesn’t sound appetizing.
      Honey, I’ll sure, would alter the flavor. Might be a nice addition. 🙄Let me know how it turns out.

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  Před 3 lety +1

      In my experience, I think giving time to the 2nd waiting period is more important than the first, I.e., after the peels are removed, simple syrup added. More time mellows and melds the flavors. My 2 cents.

    In your opinion which do you prefer the 90 day or the 7-10 day

      Good question. I think the 90 day and I would skip the paper filter and only use a strainer.

    I can't fine 80% alcoho only get 40% is that good enough. Please let me know thanks

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  Před 2 lety

      Hi Anna - the recipe call for 80 proof vodka (which is 40% alcohol). Most commercially available vodkas are 80 proof. No need to buy a premium brand.

    What kind of mixer are you using in the almond cloud video?

    • @SweetSpotKitchen
      @SweetSpotKitchen  Před 3 lety +1

      It's a Cuisinart. We have both a 6 qt Kitchenaid and this 7 qt Cuisinart. My wife and I both end up choosing to use the Cuisinart for most mixing needs.
      You're the first viewer to notice and comment that it's not the typical Kitchenaid. :-)

    Hello my favorite CZcams chef 😊 From what I can gather...the recipe is 14-18 lemon peels, 2.5 C Vodka and 2.5 C simple syrup. Does that sound right? Thanks!

      You watched a lemon fall out of a tree and roll all the way to his house and into a bowl and the part you took time to point out as fake is that the tree is not a lemon tree. lol
