 |
|
|
An after dinner drink of lemon and vodka, this was served to us at Citricos at Walt Disney World.
This recipe was a summary of several.
|
|
| Ingredients: |
Full Batch
10 lemons
1 (750-ml) bottle vodka
3 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
|
Half Batch
5 lemons
375 ml vodka
1.75 cups water
1.25 cups sugar
| |
| Procedures: |
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use).
Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith.
Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher, add the vodka and cover with plastic wrap.
Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture.
Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles.
Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.
750ml=~25oz; Sugar Water=~28oz yields ~54 oz yields ~9 oz in 6 cruets.
