Limoncello Recipe

Things you'll need:

• 6-10 Lemons

• 750ml Bottle of Vodka or Everclear

• Simple Syrup

Start by peeling the lemons with a potato peeler. Try to only peel the yellow zest part and leave as much of the white pith off as possible. When you are done peeling, you can go back and scrape off some of the white parts with the peeler or a knife.

Add the peels to your bottle of Vodka or Everclear. I pour out 2-3 oz of liquid first to make room for the peels.

Let the bottle sit for 2-4 weeks.

Strain the mixture first by using a strainer and then using a coffee filter.

Add 2 cups of simple syrup. This will cause some overflow in the bottle so you will need another container.

I like to keep some of the lemon alcohol without sugar around to use for mixing drinks that are already sweet.
