I've made Limoncello, Arancello, and a variety of other liqueurs and cordials for several years. I love to share it and enjoy simple conversation while enjoying the ice-cold liqueur with friends.
I was recently asked to teach a class on making Limoncello as a fundraiser for a local VFW. Before I responded back they already had many people signed up for the class. I had to impose a maximum limit of 24 people, in order to give each person the individual attention needed to make a great product for the holidays.
We started on October 10th to discuss sterilization and proper sanitation in the process. Then we moved on to selecting and peeling the citrus.
Orange zest on the left, lemon zest on the right
Added the Everclear
Let sit for 30 days to extract the flavoring.
They added simple syrup last night, and now for the mellowing stage. I'll make last minute flavor adjustments for them and bottle it next week.
Each of the 24 individuals in the class used a 64 oz jar (half gallon) and will make 1.5 liters of Limoncello / Arancello for the holidays.
The class will meet again in mid-December to sample their work and take it home for holiday entertaining. Will post some pictures when completed.
