Villa Cappelli Limoncello
Our world famous limoncello recipe.
Servings: 2 + L
Ingredients
- 10 to 12 lemons
- 1 L alcohol (high proof grain alcohol)
- 500 gram sugar
- 1 L water
Instructions
- Take the peels of 10 to 12 lemons (try not to get too much pith, you want just the peel) and macerate in 1L of alcohol for a few weeks. Drain and set aside.
- Make a simple syrup by boiling 500g of sugar to every 1L of water. Once the water is simmering and the sugar is all dissolved, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Combine equal parts lemon alcohol with the simple syrup. Bottle and store in and airtight bottle (otherwise the alcohol will evaporate leaving you with nasty lemon sugar). If you like yours a little sweeter, just add more sugar when making the simple syrup.
