Limoncello


 Homemade lemon liqueur is as easy as pie.

Limoncello is a southern Italian lemon liqueur traditionally served cold as a digestif*.

It’s ridiculously easy to make:

Combine ½ cup lemon rind strips with 4 cups vodka, cover, and let stand for two weeks; strain and combine with simple syrup made from 3 cups water and 1½ cups sugar.

The higher the proof of the vodka, the more lemon flavor your finished product will have.


*Digestif definition, a drink of brandy, liqueur, etc., taken after a meal to aid the digestion.
