How to Make Homemade LIMONCELLO (and why you might not want to)

We mentioned in a previous video how limoncello is considered a purely homemade treat by most Italians. The stuff you buy in a store or a restaurant-even in Italy-is really meant for tourists and a far cry from the real deal. Well, a lot of you asked so this week Eva is sharing her limoncello recipe!
BUT... there is a reason why we actually recommend that most people don't try to make it at home. In this video we'll explain why and share some incredible alternatives that you might even prefer.

Try this with mandarin oranges (mandarinetto). Aside from the compelling flavor of the final product, the beauty of mandarinetto is that the pith of mandarin oranges is not bitter. You can just put the entire peel, which easily comes off the orange, in the alcohol. There’s no need to carefully remove the pith from the zest. When I make this, I also put one small, whole mandarin orange, poked with a toothpick, in the alcohol mixture. Let the peels soak in the alcohol for 14 days. Everyone who tries this at our house asks for the recipe!

ok. as a self confessed KZfaq-afficionado ( not proud of this) I have to say a few things. First- I came here to learn how to make Lemoncello and you did NOT disappoint. Excellent instructions, demonstrations and process. 2 - Your Video delivery and production is precise, to the point and not only EASY to follow and understand but also Fun. 3 - Your videos are transferring knowledge and know how to a new group and generation of people, this is HOW it is supposed to be done. And this leads me to my next point. 4 - With Artificial Intelligence quickly becoming the "Content Creators" tool of choice (sadly) this video is a text book case of WHY Human to Human connection will NEVER be replaced. This is my first time watching this channel. I INSTANTLY felt a connection with Eva. It is her essence that kept me connected, intrigued and satisfied with her unique to her, instructions. I connected with her voice, her accent, her humour, her eye contact etc. I am just trying to explain why YOUR video about Lemoncello is so damn important to Humanity. THis is Deep I know, but damn, everything about Eva's personality, character, voice, accent, mannerisms.... her Essence is what Humanity NEEDS, and will always NEED. Grazi.

I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where many people have backyard citrus and I make cellos out of almost everything. One step I take is to juice the fruit and freeze it. Then, when it is time to make the simple syrup I use the juice and add whatever water I need to get the volume required. Next time I'm going to try Grapefruitcello!

that ginger afterwords. you can make another bowl of syrup in a pot. thin slice the ginger pieces and boil them in the syrup for 10 minutes. then bake them at 180 for half an hour to dry them out. let stand on parchment to dry further overnight. put in a jar for quick ginger candy snacks.

I made a few gallons for my daughter's wedding. We put it in tiny bottles that held 3 ounces and gave them to the guests as a small gift. We attached a sticker with the bride & groom's names to the bottle and the saying "When life gives you lemons...make limoncello!!!" My recipie was pretty much just like yours but with more water to get to about 35% alcohol (yours is about 54%). However I used a vegetable peeler instead of a knife. It worked really well. I also just added the peels to the plastic bottle of alcohol and capped it (had to remove a small amount of alcohol to make room). You will know when the alcohol/peels mixture is ready when the peels change from yellow to white. So 25 days is just an estimate. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. The time really just depends on the temperature at which you are storing it at. Regarding lemons...you can also use food grade lemon oil. With lemon oil you don't have to wait a month and you know it is pesticide-free. You can also use 40/50% Vodka because you are not extracting oil from peels. Just add some sugar. It's ready the same day. Aging improves the taste, but you can also use a premium Vodka too. It's really the lemon's oil you are extracting with the high proof alcohol. Lower strength, such as Vodka 40/50%, doesn't work as well. It took about 3-4 months for the peels to get white-ish, but never really white when I tried it with 40% Vodka.

The peels are also great for the "faire style" lemonade. Take a standard, large mason jar with about a dozen lemon peels and fill it up to nearly full with sugar ontop of it and keep shaking it to keep it mixing then leave it sealed for a few days to get the oils into it for a lemon sugar. Mix 1 partlemon sugar to 4 parts water for a syrup and mix in 1 part lemon juice. Then it tends to be a 50/50 that and ice in a container in the fridge for at least an hour to get really cold and semi-dilute it varied by the amount of ice

I've made many bottles of limoncello over the years since a trip to Italy 12 years ago. I researched many recipes on the internet and found one that made the most sense to me. I do use the 95% grain alcohol but I mix it half and half with 40% vodka so that I have an extraction alcohol percentage of 67.5%. I use 20 lemons and 1.5 liters total of blended alcohol. That's plenty strong enough to get good extraction in about 3-4 months. Then when I filter it and cut it with the simple syrup it ends up being around 35% alcohol which is just strong enough to not freeze in the freezer and it thickens a bit and gets slightly syrupy and is just delicious. Sunshine in a bottle!

We also used to soak our lemons in the alcohol for about a month. Then years ago I saw a video by Dario Bressanini, "il limoncello scientifico" and I tried making different batches. soaking just 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, 15 days. I must say that over 10 days it does get more bitter. We keep it between 7 and 10 days. 3 days is already enough but you do get a lighter/sweeter flavor if that's what you prefer ;)

LOL) that - be sure to measure the liter of alcohol into the jar BEFORE putting in the lemon peels, because the lemon peels take up space, and filling it up to the 1000 mark with the lemon peels IN, wouldn't give you the correct ratio. I hope that made sense! I've made this before, and I am sure yours is much better! lol

Good that you mentioned that to make Limoncello, you are making first a tincture. This should ring a bell with anyone familiar with herbology and making tinctures. I do make my own Limoncello, but youtube put your video in my feed and I was curious. I have two lemon trees in my garden both heavily 'yellow' with fruit this year. So, guess that I will be making this weekend (and probably a few friends as well!)? Nice tip about just scraping off the little bit of white pith that inevitably happens, thanks!

I have a lemon tree that I do absolutely nothing to...completely organic. The tree is so abundant this year it has broke a couple branches due to the weight. I'm DEFINITELY going to be making lemoncello. It will be great to enjoy this summer. Thank you for this recipe ❤

I’m definitely trying the Basil-cello! I’ve made several tinctures over the years, but this is intriguing!

The bartender at my favorite restaurant (now closed) used to make Basil Gimlets, with some combination of basil, lime, and vodka, in the summer that were heaven! He would never tell me the secret. Maybe that was it!

My grandpa used to scrub the lemons well to get rid of all the impurities in the skin. He also used to make orangecello, cherries in brandy. I am definitely going to make the coffee liqueur! Grandpa is from Naples.

Wonderful suggestions. I made limoncello for Christmas last year. Good vodka ( Australia doesn't do grain alcohol)and home grown lemons. My SIL who lived in Italy for 2 years said it was good. Now I'm inspired.
