This Limoncello recipe outlines how to create a vibrant Italian lemon liqueur, by infusing lemon peels in grain alcohol and then mixing with a simple syrup. The description comes from publicdomainrecipes.com.
22 servings
5-7 organic lemons (regular lemons are covered in wax)
300ml 95% ABV grain alcohol
700ml water
500ml sugar
Pour the alcohol into a 1 liter mason jar
Peel the lemons avoiding the white pith (it will make your limoncello bitter) and submerse them in the alcohol
Cover the jar and let the lemons infuse the alcohol for 20 days
After the infusion is completed, create a simple syrup by boiling the water and dissolving the sugar in the water
Allow the water to cool completely, then strain the alcohol into the sugar water and stir
Bottle or put it back into the mason jar
Feel free to scale the recipe up or down, and adjust the sugar to the sweetness you like, but the ABV should remain somewhere around 28-30%
