He likes Everclear (190 proof!) because he says it doen't get slurpy in the freezer. I have to say I made it with the Everclear and it just about took the top of my head off! I'll make it again with vodka! I think I'll drink this batch with tonic water.Oregon Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304465767994530731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905914819621901834.post-71231066082575364422012-02-13T20:59:12.129-05:002012-02-13T20:59:12.129-05:00I have to date made two batches of Lemocello.

(A friend uses vodka, I prefer the gin, to each his own!)<br />Using my brita pitcher and a special filter that I only use with the liquor, I filter all of the liquor until I get tired of filtering. Pour this into a large clear container with a nice lid.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905914819621901834.post-8449052265812324432011-12-09T20:17:48.518-05:002011-12-09T20:17:48.518-05:00I am making my first batch of Lemoncello here in M...I am making my first batch of Lemoncello here in Maine! I infused the zest of 50 lemons into three 1.7 litres of vodka for 3 weeks. the yellow from the lemons faded off and the vodka is now yellow! I took all the peels out tonite and now I'm cooling off the sugar water to add to the infused vodka. I'm so excited! I can't wait to taste it! I am also saving some infused vodka Lynnhttp://www.lynnboston.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905914819621901834.post-46365920113025628162011-03-16T13:41:24.567-04:002011-03-16T13:41:24.567-04:00Ben - Oh yeah, I am definitely using Everclear in ...Ben - Oh yeah, I am definitely using Everclear in the future.

When we were in Austin our few choices were bud (yuk!), Shiner Bock, Ziegenbock and Celis (closed). Now you have many!<br /><br />Ben - I wish I could taste some homemade Limoncello done in Italy. I would love to have that kind of comparison.

I had some for the first time a few months ago. It was homemade by an older gentleman from Italy. It was delicious. However, I couldn't fine anything comparable in the store. They were all to syrupy. So I talked him into sharing his recipe with me. It is basically the same as yours, but he adds milk to the simple syrup mixture.

I'll go pour myself a drink and enjoy watching you make your batch. PA may be crappy with alcohol laws but you've got Yuengling! This is the ONLY beer I can drink. My guy and I only get to enjoy it two weeks out of the year when we come from Texas to PA for Christmas vacation.Chelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811791496843990918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905914819621901834.post-89645597238245565962011-03-14T16:12:56.652-04:002011-03-14T16:12:56.652-04:00I have never heard of this drink, though I have tr...I have never heard of this drink, though I have tried lemon after drinking vodka (bit like tequila) and thats nice:)Three-Cookieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.com
