limoncello that packs a punch!
(3 ratings)
This is a great after dinner aperitif and it packs a punch! One little cordial full will relax you quite nicely! The Meyer lemons and Everclear alcohol really make the difference in this recipe! The recipe and a bag of Meyer lemons were given to me for Christmas from my dear friend Valerie, and the rest is history!

How To Make limoncello that packs a punch!
-
1Peel lemons with a potato peeler and place rinds in a large jar or covered glass container. I used my 2 qt. glass Pampered Chef Mixing bowl/picture with lid. -
2Pour in alcohol and let set for 4 to 7 days on kitchen counter. (I do 7 days for a stronger lemon flavor). I also give it a little stir every day, but not necessary.
-
3When your lemon peelings and alcohol are ready, boil sugar in water til sugar dissolves. Let cool to room temp.
-
4Strain the alcohol & peelings and pour into sugar/water, leaving peelings in the strainer. Stir well.
-
5Pour into bottles and keep in the freezer until ready to drink. These lovely bottles of liquid gold make very nice gifts too, if you can part with any! Enjoy!
-
6*Hint: I squeeze all the juice from the lemons and freeze them in ice trays. When frozen, you can bag them up and use them for cooking or to make lemonade!
