Tutorial - Making Limoncello At Home

[IamMadMan]

This is the time of year to begin making Limoncello for holiday use / gifts.


The concept of Making Limoncello can be applied to other fruits with some minor modifications to water / sugar content.

The most flavorful Limoncello is made from Meyer Lemons which are only available in December and January. However any variety of lemon will work giving a great end product result.


I realize some states do not sell EVERCLEAR 190, and lesser ABV varieties are available. If you live in one of these states, message me and I'll send you the conversion for your ABV.

Man, it's been years since I made limoncello. I should make some more. Thanks for the thread!

Thanks for posting. If you do not want to wait the 21 days, you can use a sous vide and accomplish the infusion process in 2 hours at 135 degrees Fahrenheit. I have made it both ways, and in a side by side comparison it is impossible to tell the difference.

Substitute oranges and make arancello, when serving add some heavy cream and it'll taste just like a dreamsicle. :wink:

You can also use Polish Spirytus instead of everclear, 192 proof.

George,


It is actually very easy, Takes about 10 minutes to zest the lemons and measure out 500 ML of Everclear. One batch makes about 1.5 liters, and with small decorative bottles from Amazon, it makes great holiday gifts for friends and family.
