Limoncello

Lemon peel in vodka and everclear on their way to becoming limoncello

Starting with 750ml of Vodka and 750ml of Everclear, Caroline peeled approximately 35 lemons she picked in Santa Barbara, California, threw them into a jar with the alcohol, and will now wait a patient 2 months for the mixture to brew. In November she will boil water and sugar to make a syrup, add it to the lemon alcohol mixture minus the zest, and again, let it sit for a while. Just before Christmas and in time for giving away as gifts, Caroline will have made her first batch of the popular Italian liqueur called Limoncello.
