I’m making this for my bday trip near the beach in May. Can’t wait to try it out.

I started making limoncello a couple years ago when someone gave me a bucket full of lemons. Liked it so much I was borderline alcoholic 😅

I've made some this way. I actually filter the Everclear, through a counter water filter 5 times, prior to adding to the lemons, to smooth it out some. Takes the harsh bite out of the final result and friends like it way more than straight up Everclear.

My lemon cello was not a bright flavor. I was very careful to do it exactly as you said. But it wasn’t as lemony as it should’ve been. Also a suggestion I used cheese cloth to large cheese cloth quadrupled over as my strainer to make sure I got everything out of the lemons.

I make it with the mandarin peel’s 🤤😋.

I would recommend to use 1 part sugar with 3 parts water because this Limoncello tastes more like sugar than lemon. Personal preference of course so you do you but this combo comes closer to the famous and in my opinion the superior tasting Amalfi Coast Limoncello.

Do you put the vanilla beans in WITH the lemon peels to steep.?

[mikepekock]

So I've been letting it set now for 2 weeks. ( already added sugar and water). Lemon peels have almost lost all their yellow color. Can I stain and bottle a week early?

[cjohn]

what do you with all the lemons after you zest them ?

[chuckpetkunas]

Have you tried cheese cloth
Works better than coffee filters

[meridithbiehl]

I can't find any store that carries Everclear 190 proof; only 120. Will that work as well, and taste as well? What would my ratios be of lemon/alcohol/sugar & water? Thank you!!

[rickirizarry]

Can you use muslin cloth instead of coffee filters?

[louisehill]

After it has been sitting in the refrigerator for some time it starts to get cloudy and forms white blobs... How can you prevent that? thank you...

[susanb]

Looks groovy 👍
How about using fresh cherries!!!
Thanks

[melinacafarella]

Where can I purchase the 190 proof alcohol? Please

[ryanberneking]

What’s the final proof after you mellow it out?

[MrPatrickRey]

Do NOT do this. The pesticides on store bought lemons are bad, mmmkay. Get the lemons from yourtree, a friend or make another ‘cello. Or drink gasoline, I don’t care.
