| Luxardo Limoncello Lemon Italian Liqueur
Italy |
Product Notes:
An authentic Italian lemon liqueur. Serve chilled, over ice cream, or enjoy in a summer iced tea. 48 proof. 750ml.
"The see-through, chrome yellow/green color is brilliant; the initial nosing pass finds fresh, bitterly sour scents of lemon -- By the final nosing a savory aroma of lemon zest comes to the forefront of the aromatic experience and takes the wheel. The palate entry is delightfully lemony/citrusy sour and quite viscous to the touch. The midpalate carries the zestiness to the back of the tongue where a sweetness enchants the taste buds; the aftertaste is long, lemony, and sweet/sour."

 Recipe:
Make your own Limoncello
True Limoncello is made in Sorrento, from lemons whose trees overlook the Mediterranean. However, if you have good lemons where you live (I'd want organically grown here), you can get pretty close. It's not difficult.
INGREDIENTS:
15 thick-skinned lemons (Eureka, Lisbon or Citron if you're in the US)
2 bottles (750 ml each) of the best 100 proof Vodka or a 750 ml bottle of 190-proof alcohol
4 1/2 cups (1 k) sugar
5 cups (1.2 liters) water if you use vodka, or 8 (2 liters) if you use grain alcohol
PREPARATION:
Wash the lemons in hot water before you start. Remove the peel with a vegetable peeler, removing all white pith on the back of the peel by scraping with a knife, and put the peels in a 4-quart Mason jar.
