  • Limoncello is a beloved Italian liqueur that has gained worldwide fame for its tangy, refreshing taste. Made using just three simple ingredients. My Nonna’s family recipe will transport you to the sunny Mediterranean coast with just one sip.
    Moreover, the intense citrus flavor of fresh lemons blends perfectly with the sweetness of sugar and the kick of alcohol. Additionally, resulting in a delightful explosion of taste in your mouth.
    Whether you enjoy it on its own, as an after-dinner digestif, or mixed into a refreshing cocktail. Lastly, limoncello is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.

    Love it! It cracks me up that my Italian Grandma used to serve us kids limencello after dinner! She kept it in the freezer, but of course it didn't freeze. Lol. It's only as an adult that I realize what a strong liquor it is! 😂 I can't believe my parents let us have some. She served in in tiny glass cups. Too funny. We loved it! : ) Great memories.

    My mom, who died at almost 100, was the youngest child to parents who were first generation immigrants from Italy when they were teenagers! It always made me so fascinated in her background. In fact, my sister is on a two week tour of Italy right now! (I'm so jealous!) She bought limoncello while there, so I've decided to make it homemade to give as a Christmas gift this year!

    Great recipe; I am going to make limoncello cream with my next batch! Thank you both, so much!
    You might appreciate this story - my daughter has been allowed a small amount of limoncello at home on special occasions since she was in high school, so she knows what it is, and enjoys it. She's chosen never to be much of a drinker, she's controlled, introverted, and thoughtful by nature.
    When she was in college, she was able to study for a semester in Rome with about a dozen fellow students from her US Midwest college, which she loved! There was a small family restaurant on the ground floor of the building where all their flats were; they often ate meals there, mothered over by the nonna who ran the place.
    About halfway through the semester, the students were celebrating some milestone, and the nonna gifted them each a small glass of house/homemade limoncello. Being American college students, they assumed the small glass meant "shots" and slammed each glass down before my daughter could instruct them on how to savor the treat! After she explained their mistake, and soothed their host explaining their ignorance, my daughter bought a second round of limoncello so they could savor the drink. The students enjoyed this so much, two more students bought two more rounds...
    My daughter's fellow students discovered that, when tipsy, my daughter sings like a rowdy sailor and gives hugs without reservation! The nonna was so pleased that this six foot tall nordic blonde had an appreciation for limoncello that she mothered her all the more, the rest of their visit!

      And yes, I use vodka too since its easier to get where I'm at as well. I use Eristoff for mine, a cheap but pure russian vodka, but any vodka should work as long as its taste is pure. Now, since vidka has a lower alcoholic grade (around 40), I left the peels on the alcohol for longer. 30 days is enough. And use less water/milk, 1:1 alcohol to water for limoncello, and 1:1.3 alcohol to milk for crema di limoncello. Some water/milk gets lost in the boiling process ofc but thats expected. Leaving my limoncello with around 20 degrees of alcohol (you can use an online calculator for this), which is just about what I've seen comercial limoncellos have

    I'm trying to make limoncello since the stuff sold here in the US isn't anywhere near as good as what I remember in Italy. I must have read a dozen or more recipes online and they all vary wildly on the amount of sugar and water to add. Some seem to add ridiculously high amounts of sugar, or water it down a lot. I don't want mine too sweet and I figured about 30-35% alcohol was a good target. This recipe seems to hit that sweet spot, plus it's got the nonna seal of authenticity. My lemon peel is soaking now, and I'll definitely be following this recipe when it's time to add the sugar+water.

    - where should alcohol with lemon rest? Fridge or cool place? Because I live in Turkey at the moment and it's always + 30 so I can't find a cool place :)
    2- how long can cream limonchello stand? Where should I keep it for it not to go bad?
