Ingredients:-
3 1/3 cups Everclear alcohol 190 proof or vodka (750 ml)
Peel of 6-7 lemons
3 ounces lemon peel preferably fresh-picked or organic (85 grams)
3 cups sugar (625 grams)
3 1/3 water (750 ml)
Directions:-
Step#1- Rinse lemons of any debris. Dry and using a peeler remove peel being careful not to remove the pith.
Step#2- Add alcohol in an airtight glass jar and add lemon peels.
Step#3- Cover the glass jar with aluminum foil and store it in a dark cool place. (I usually put it in my pantry).
Step#4- Let it sit (macerare) for 3 to 7 days. The longer the better.
Step#5- In a pot mix water and sugar and bring to a boil. Once the sugar has melted remove it from heat and let it cool completely.
Step#6- Strain peels from alcohol and mixes them with sugar syrup. Bottle and keep in the freezer until ready to serve. I also keep limoncello glasses in the freezer.
It can be enjoyed immediately. I use limoncello for my desserts, over ice cream or strawberries. So many delicious ways to enjoy anytime.
Salut 🥂 - Jak na to + styl
YES.... I keep mine in the FREEZER too.

Hello Alessandra, love limoncello! Drink it a lot when in Italy: the last time I was there I brought different flavors to the US. I've not been able to gind a brand comparable to those in Italia. I'm excited to have this recipe & hope to try it soon ( once I purchase needed materials).
Grazie, Syl
Hello Syl,
One of my favorite is mandarinetto. My aunt would always make a few bottles to bring back with me. She passed away this past October 🙏🏻
The quality of the citrus is very important, the fresher the better. Let me know how it turns out! Cari saluti 🥰
@@alessandrasfoodislove Hello Alessandra, so sorry to hear about your loss. May God grant her eternal peace. Getting fresh lemons I think are impossible in Maryland; hopefully in the summer I can find some in local farmers stands. Will keep you posted. Syl
@@syldee8927 thank you for your beautiful words. Organic lemons are great too!
I tried it a bunch of different ways & your method is absolutely the best Alexandra. Delicious!
Thank you so so much. It’s a tried and true recipe from my aunt and everyone loves it. 🇮🇹💕💕
OH MY GOSH
I found your Limoncello Video...
I'm so excited to watch this...
"Cheers"
I love Limoncello... taste so good.
(SOOOOO Expensive here in the USA)
Oh wow. I’m so glad you did!!
Love love love limoncello and Che k out my gluten free lemon caprese that uses limoncello.
Thank you so much for watching. 💕 let’s keep cooking together.
@@alessandrasfoodislove
Beautiful Video...
Thank you so much
What region does the Lemons in Italy come from?
Is it Sorrento? I can't remember,
@@judichristopher4604 Sorrento and the Amalfi coast are large producers of lemons.
@@alessandrasfoodislove
Well... if I ever get to go to Italy I will have to go where they make it...
Here in New Mexico (US) one of those bottles you made would cost $40.
WOW... Expemsive.
@@alessandrasfoodislove
Thank you Bella so much for all this Great Information...
Love your recipes Alessandra, what is ever clear please? is it the same as grain alcohol? Thank you.
Thank you so so much. Ever clear is the brand for grain alcohol and neutral spirit. Sorry for not being clear. Enjoy your limoncello. 💕
AWWWWWW.
I need to buy those Limoncello Shot Glasses...
Can we buy them here in the US?
How would you make limoncello cream?
Alessandra Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe can you please tell me how much water and how much sugar is in the recipe. Thanks 🙏🏻🌹♥️🇦🇺
Thank you so much!
3 1/4 cups of sugar (625 g)
3 1/3 cups of water (750 ml)
All my recipe are printable at www.alessandrasfoodislove.com
if you take out and add the lemon peel from the alcohol and put them into the boiling sugar, it extracts even more lemon flavours, .
Making this! What can I do with all the leftover lemons? Should I freeze them?
Thank you so much for watching.
Make my delicious Greek Lemon chicken or squeeze the lemons and freeze in an ice cube tray. Use in drinks or water. 💕💕
I have made limoncello in the past & they say to let the peels & Everclear sit for a month. Is that a little overkill ? I like your recipe.
Thank you for watching! Absolutely an overkill! The trick is fresh beautiful citrus. I think a week is plenty of time. You’ll see the citrus becomes colorless and very stiff because all the flavor are released in the alcohol. Keeping it a month is too much.
Let me know how it turns out. 🥰🍋🍋
Everclear is what makes the best that's what use but I'm going to share this with my to see how it differs from your recipe... Also do you know the name of you marble countertop it's really mice
Hi Bruce,
Thank you so much for watching. I’m in Sorrento right now and the lemons are so beautiful!
I love my granite top too, so wonderful to work on. The name is Oriental Dream. Hope you’re able to find it. Grazie 💚🤍♥️
Must use organic lemons, right? Due to the waxy coating on non-organic ones.
Best to use organic lemons. Thank you for watching. 🥰
Does it have to be so much sugar? What would happen if I used less?
Just less sweet. Thank you for watching.
@@alessandrasfoodislove Thank you.. I talked to a friend who gave me the link and makes it and he uses very little sugar and loves it.
Next time pour into 4 cup Pyrex to get into bottles 👌🏼❤️ 🍋
Thank you I will certainly do that. Grazie 🥰
I have 190 proof Everclear. Would that be too much alcohol content?
Sorry to hade missed your comment. Not at all because it gets diluted with the simply syrup
Greece
Thank you for watching.
ALBANIA
I'm sorry, you didn't tell us how much sugar and water...
I am going to make limoncello. Pardon me but you made an error of placing the cleaned lemon back in the bowl with the debris that was cleaned off and with unclean lemons. 😊
So sorry. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Thank you so much for watching 💕🇮🇹
@@alessandrasfoodislove your video is very good AND limoncello are delicious 😋
@@oldsingingstudentdougbillf1665 thank you ☺️ so much. 💕
My Nana does not weigh anything... (LOL)

@@alessandrasfoodislove
