Hello All,
My Brother in Law recently came back from the Amalfi Coast and brought back some limoncello. I had never really thought much of it, as the stuff in the past was way too sweet/artificial for my liking. A few weekends back, I had a Homemade burger and a nice glass of Cab then figured I would try some chilled limoncello. I have to say it hit the spot, I was really impressed. This was fresh, tart and strong enough to keep my attention. Anyhow, I went looking for the bottle he brought back and couldn't find and distro. I ended up on forums where folks make their own. It sounds super easy and worth the time. Have any fellow CP'ers made any, are there some recipe's that you've used? I plan on making 2 batched a Lemon and Grapefruit.
I have both batches of Lemon and Grapefruit peels bathing in everclear and vodka. I will need to figure out the sugar/proof in a couple weeks as i do not want it overly sweet.
I'm looking at this recipe. Any suggestions for sugar and proofing?
