Holy Hot Limoncello!

[bigmanfromou]

Two years ago, I decided to try making limoncello. It was suggested to do the extraction of the peels with Everclear, so I did so. Following the rest of the recipe, including "aging" it for 6 months, this produced a tasty but a product with very high alcohol content. The initial flavors were great, until the "burn" wiped any trace of lemon from one's tongue.

Anyone have any suggestions for reducing the alcohol content, but not diluiting the flavors too much? I'm ready to try this again for the up coming holiday season.

Use Vodka for a lesser kick.

Maybe add a little water as you would with a whiskey. Drinking Whiskey like a boss 1:09 starts in on adding water

Let it breath while it sit ? Alcohol tend to evaporate. For whisky it's call the angels take every year about 1% get away from the cask. Now I guess your not using a cask so maybe venting the container would help?
