Not so mellow yellow Limoncello
November 12th, 2007 at 8:47pm |
Beginning of September I started my trial batch of limoncello by pouring 750ml of Everclear and 750ml Vodka into a large jar and stirring the peel of 30 or so lemons in. Tonight was the night to open the jar, strain the liquid (which has a very beautiful golden color) and add freshly boiled syrup to make it drinkable. The mixture will have to settle for another 1-2 more weeks. I hope it will be worth the hassle. The fumes from the undiluted alcohol are so strong that I feel hungover just from standing next to it. I had a taste before we pushed the jar back into its corner and it was really strong with only a hint of sweetness.
