The next part is to leave the lemon peel and pure alcohol sit for at least 10 days so that the flavours from the peel are extracted. The next stage is to strain the peel from the alcohol and blend with sugar syrup. Sugar syrup is simple to make, 1 kg of white sugar to 2 litres of water. Boil the water and sugar until it is completely dissolved.
Alternatively, make a limoncello Martini by mixing 1 fluid ounce of limoncello with 1.5 fluid ounces of vodka and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in an ice-filled shaker. Strain the mixture into a martini glass and garnish with a lemon slice.
Ventura Limoncello Review. You are here: Making Limoncello. Iām also interested in trying the suspension method, keep us updated please when you try it, or anyone who has tried it let us know! The second 45 day waiting period probably helps the process. Iām excited to make my first batch of this soon.
There now exist many recipes for making homemade Limoncello. Basically, all you need to do is take the zest of organic lemons (yellow and not tinted with green) and steep them in grain alcohol for between 48 and 78 hours and then strain the liquid. You then add simple syrup (sugar water) to the alcohol and then let it sit for a few days. Simple!
