- Gennaro's on the Amalfi Coast in Italy to show you how to make your own limoncello - an Italian lemon liqueur that's a very popular after dinner drink and great poured over ice cream. You'll need fresh lemons, pure grain alcohol (you should be able to buy this online), water and sugar.
Bellissimo!

"VALENTINO ISE-DA KINGA OF-A LIMONI-CELLO... "
ONLY ALLOWS HIM TO BRING THE SHOT GLASSES
He is there to say "perfecto".
buhahahhhaha
Hey, Kings don't work :) But credits go to them ;)
😂😂😂
His accent drifts from Italian to London East side. Nice one Govna'.
Dude I thought I was the only one that thought that. I said to my self is this guy English and doing an Italian accent?
@@saulgarcia7083 He is Italian, he just lives in London afaik
@@saulgarcia7083 He is Italian he has just lived in London for a long time so as you can imagine his accent sometimes drifts between the two.
Oy!...Shata yu maout mate🤣👍
I was thinking the same. Very distracting.
'There was a butterfly!' Gennaro knows how to make me smile.
Elisabeth Harding :)
I love how Valentino wore a sunny lemon coloured sweater for the video :)
Haha, based on the glass i bet that wasnt the first one they had.
😉
He is like a living encyclopedia of Italian food. O man, i love it to hear him talking and cooking. So much love and passion.
You speak like Gennaro hahah love it!
I vote for this LIMONCELLO video with the "BUTTERFLY", as the best video on UA-cam.
My son and daughter made it with less sugar and it made me very happy.......
A couple of very important points were missed in this video. If you can't get alcohol over 40% then you need to leave the skins for at least two weeks to extract all the oil otherwise it will not go cloudy but remain clear when mixed as I found out.
Nice Tip, thanks! But in that case due to lower %of alchool ,would you need to use less water, ie less than the 750ml indicated here ?
Also you need to add more alcohol and a bit less water if you only have 40% or so alcohol. Otherwise its not gonna be strong enough.
Rob, I've read that Everclear is nasty tasting. Would you suggest using plain vodka? Thank you!
tomatojuice12 I used ever clear, tasted fine, very strong. I let my skins sit for 14 days not 3 though, and shook occasionally.
Where do i get a 40% more pure alcohol? Is it the same one we use for medical cleaning purposes?
Valentino added a lot to the video. Thank you, Valentino!
wow i was surprised no lemon juice was involved in making it, so simple!
Nope, just the lemon peels.
You just want the aroma of the lemons but not the acidity:)
There are some really good things in the lemon peel. Like limonene and vitamin C.
I was surprised too
Perls have the essential oils not so much the juice.
When life gives you lemons, make limoncello, because it makes everything so much better than lemonade! (I tried it with 90% alcohol, it was still a bit strong for me, so I added +50 ml of water.)
Darin Gennardo is a whimp! He added 750ml of water! You must be some kinda badass only adding 50ml!
@@finbira she means 50ml in addition to the 750ml
She missed the 750 ml water thing
@@finbira Czechs are tough when it comes to alcohol :-)
May I ask how much water should i add if i used 96% alcohol?
I'm never tired of seeing Genaro! I've watched this video at least 100 times for the past 4 years
Is Genaro the one starting with Gordon Ramsey! I swear I’ve seen him and heard his voice before! 🤔🍋🇦🇺💛
Italy food grows everywhere i swear i love this place
Thank you Gennaro and Valentino, You have the happiest life and best drink...
Happy happy butterfly moment. 2:24 secs. Love this video and recipe. Grazie Gennaro.
Dearest Gennaro, you are adorable!
Gingerknitter Oh Ginger, the feeling's mutual
gosh.. I have never know that it is this easy. Thanks a million. 💐💐💐💐💐I will do it right away. ❤️💐❤️💐
could you do more such vids? like with hazelnut or so? reeeeeaaaally excited about the simplicity of this!
I'm not a huge fan of liqueurs, but I visited Capri not too long ago, and I have to say the Limoncello they make there is absolutely _fantastic_; definitively giving this a try.
Redgrave192 Same. There's a fair bit of poor quality limoncello around, but the type they make in the Amalfi area is pretty spectacular.
Love growing onions under the lemon trees, as I do something similar under my plum and pluot trees!
What a fantastic holiday gift! So inspired. #bravo
The limoncello is amazing so I decided to experiment a little. I tried this with Meyer lemons and it was also very good. The Meyer lemons added a bit of bitterness and a hint of an herbal flavor, which was interesting. Look forward to more videos!
Nice one Benjamin! Keep on experimenting 🍸
Thank goodness Meyer Lemons worked because that is the BEST Lemons I can get here in New Mexico (US)...
Thank you for sharing this information...
Always wanted to learn how to make Limoncello! Thanks a lot Gennaro Contaldo !!
Fotografando à Mesa Our pleasure! You should send us some snaps if you get the chance to make it! twitter.com/DrinksTube
i made this and had the lemons sit for 5 days instead of 3 cause i didn’t have time to make it on day 3 lol but it was amazing! thank you :)
Can I use Vodka as the alcohol component? 🤓
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🍋
Until a couple of years ago I’d never heard of Limoncello, not until I tried a local Italian restaurant I’d not been in before and they suggested it after we got talking drinks. I love the stuff!
I am Lion Man literally no one cares 😂
i've done this sugar shaking thing, saves so much work. next week i'll be making arancello and then a personal project i call agrumicello, made with peels from lime, lemon, orange, pomelo, grapefruit and tangerines. hope it tastes heavenly.
Any update on how it turned out? That sounds great!
Gennaro I love your recipes!!
I did this Limoncello but when I take it from the freezer it was frozen...
If i use sugar dissolved in boiled water this not happens!! and has a better taste!!! I recommend this method!!
Amazing tip. Thank you.
I love Gennaro's ZEST for life, it's refreshing :D
Best Limoncello Ever. Thanks Gennaro
no puedo creer lo bueno que es ete licor para la salud y lo facil que es para su preparacion
Just did it today and then watched the video) Thank, will to the fridge and take a shot, again))) It's really tasty!)
Thank you…may God continue to bless you! I love it…I love it…I love it!!! 🍋🍹🍋💛
Best video I ever seen! Lovely music 🤌🏻
Genaro, tu sei il MAESTRO... Ho fatto e è rimasto perfecto!!! Saluti da Brasile...
Hamilton Jr To um pouco atrasado já, mas ,de qlqr forma, onde vc encontrou álcool 95%?
@@TheInsaneFellow Tb to atrasado. Vc acha pela internet, procura álcool de cereais. Eu usei da CereAlcool.
This must be the best way to get all that lovely flavour of lemon zest.
what a wonderful Italian accent, just a music to my ears and soul
I really love his attitude
For Australians out there Dan Murphy's sell Polmos Spirytus (95% Rectified Spirit) , which is suitable for this recipe :)
thank you, just wondered about it haha
I have searched it on their website but not found it. Anyway do you know if they sell it in QLD as well?
Some idiot over in Perth died from alcohol poisoning on their 18th birthday from that stuff so they stopped selling it everywhere.. You've probably found this out long ago already but posting it for anyone else to has the same question..
Funny thing guys. I live in the city where the Polmos is :) in Poland. Nice to hear that this product is known So far away from here :) high five
Not anymore :(
Un grande chef Signor Gennaro...Saluti.👏👏👏👏👏☺🙏
Saul is so lovable. His recipes are fantastic too.
Its the best Limoncello, Thank you Gennaro you the best
been using this recipe for a while. makes the best limoncello ever
Thanks for confirming. I'm gonna try tomorrow.
@@tegridy9569 it is by far the best recipe ive ever used. been making lemoncello for nearly 15 years
wow...great video, thanks!
Whoa! This is so easy!
awesome recipe! I used 0.55 l water to dilute (and 185g sugar), to obtain a limoncello with 30% alcohol! It's delicious!
Boa proporcao, fica otimo.
This soundtrack is awesome! And I've just started making my limoncello.
+daipaulig YAYAY! Summer is coming!
Song?
I made a batch of this and I have been giving it to people for Christmas presents.
I’ve made it exactly this way twice now, once letting it sit for 3 days in Everclear and once for 2 weeks in Everclear. Both were really good but the 2-week version seemed a little better❤🍋🍋🍋
Making as a gift this helps I think I will do 2 weeks thanks
Interestingly I had the opposite experience! The 2-week version had a much milder lemon vibe than the 3-day one I had experimented with previously.
It might be that I was just unlucky with the quality of the lemons when leaving them in alcohol for longer...
Thanks for sharing! I’m going to make this as well. So everything the same as shown in the video, except let it sit for 20 days instead of 3
4 weeks is even better... smooth
@
You are right... longer is better
thank you!
Remember to use FRESH water, that old water wont do.
it must be the ''nice one'' water
water expires after about a year, you want the fresh stuff
Roberto Moreno what mountain top do you source your water from?
Thank you so much. I was in Italy and never had that missed out:( So I have a small batch on right now after watching your video, thank you for sharing. You to are just to cute. I'll let you know how it comes out, keep your fingers crossed:)
Grande Gennaro sei il migliore
You can tell they're best friends simply from how Gennaro is so hyper and Valentino is just there like "Hmm, yeah, nice."
LOVE IT
wow that is so so simple.
Love it
Hermoso!!!!!
I'm totally making this for Yule gifts. Yum.
tattooedhippiechick Do it! Send us photos to let us know how you get on.
Thank u. I love limoncello🥂
Awesome!
Best demonstraton for recipe.
Thanks for this video i want make this at my home
That's fantastic!!!
Enjoy Almeder!
Genaro are you sure that is ready only for 3 days, is the fastest limoncello I have heard.
I saw a lot of recipes between at least 10 and 30 days.
Here in Brazil we use honey instead of sugar and water. we call it 'licor de limão e mel'.I'll try this one, it looks much tastier!
Yours with the honey sounds healthier 😁
Perfecto 👌🏻
Gennaro Contaldo let us in on the secret to making beautiful #Limoncello.
UA-cam won't work. Keeps giving me an error message.
Laura Piva hello
Limoncello and lemon sorbet=deliciousness
Limoncello is one of my favorite drinks to make. I zest mine instead of peeling. I think it gives more flavor. I like to mix a lime in there too.
Making it not Lemoncello. LOL
chef mike Just a little lime, not much. For every 4 lemons, I add like half a lime. :D For me it makes it more balanced. It's like adding a dash of salt to coffee. Brings out flavors you never expected.
TheVegetarianBaker Salt.... to coffee....!?
Just a dash. Try it Mightytoon1
TheVegetarianBaker Salt is added to poor quality coffee. It's an old Navy/military trick. I fear your cooking.
Из всех лимончелло, покупных и самодельных, это самый правильный рецепт!
Согласна, получается шикарный ликёр!
I saw Gennuaro's name and knew this would be something good
grazie mille, delizioso
Rather than mix the sugar and water make a simple syrup by putting the sugar and water into a saucepan and boiling. This will ensure all the sugar gets dissolved. Cool the syrup and then add it to the alcohol and lemon mixture.
Aw ~my 🤪I saw butterflies 🥰🦋 thanks recommended I’ll try later 👍👍👍 yum
So cute how Valentino is wearing a lemon jumper ☺ 🍋 🍋
Valentino be like: "He's too excited."😂
Very Nice!
Nice work .... Cover the jar and let sit at room temperature for at least (10) ten days and up to (40) days in a cool dark place. The longer the mixture rests, the better the end taste will be.
Bitter flavours, yum
I thiink it was a female butterfly making sweet eyes at Gennaro in hope of a sip of th delicious limoncello ♥️♥️
He had me at limoncello 😍
Greetings from Costa Rica. We are enthusiastic about making artisan liqueurs.
Making it as I type!
muy facil para prepararlo
Saluteee Bravo✌
I'm waiting for Amaretto !.
Fantastik!!😁
Best Shot ever ❤
im definitely gonna make limoncello
Nice job, Valentino!
Cytrynki superowe. Szkoda że tam nie mieszkam.🥂
A właściciel cytrynek jak kanarek 🍋.
Etanolo al gusto di limone ... Grazie mille!
Excelente 😯😮👍👌
Delicioso!!! Quero fazer e provar!!!
Letztens bei meinem italienischen Nachbar getrunken, hatte er selber gemacht, so lecker das Zeug 😊
Every time I see Gennaro, I always think of 'choply roughly, roughly chopped' Damn it!
Sabeeha Hamidi Ha!
Limoncello, the perfect drink.
Thanks for the great video. I was just wondering if you are using a special peeler to get the lemon skins? What kind of peeler are you using?
A normal vegetable peeler (like this www.amazon.co.uk/Jamie-Oliver-All-Purpose-Peeler/dp/B001U0O186) will do the job - just make sure to peel think slices. You just want the lovely yellow skin, not the bitter white pith.
Hello Old Funny Man ... there was a butterfly 😂💛🦋
sehr gut
Yum. Luv you, Gennaro! Can I try it with any other kind of lime? ;)
I've try itu with kefir lime, orange, and all are fantastic. You should try itu too, 👍
