Ingredients

  • 4 large lemons
  • 2 cups vodka
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the lemons. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the yellow zest from the lemons, avoiding any white pith.

  2. Place the lemon zest strips in a glass jar or bottle, and pour in the vodka. Close the jar tightly and let it infuse for at least 4 days in a cool, dark place.

  3. After the infusion period, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool.

  4. Once the syrup has cooled, strain the lemon zest from the infused vodka and discard the zest.

  5. Mix the infused vodka with the sugar syrup. Stir well to combine.

  6. Pour the limoncello into bottles and seal. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least a week before serving.

  7. Serve chilled in small glasses as a digestif or use it in cocktails.
