Pallini Limoncello Liqueur 1 Litre Bottle

Product Information

How much alcohol is in each serving of your limoncello depends on two factors—what proof alcohol you use to extract the lemon and how much simple syrup you add in the end. While we can’t give you the exact percentage of alcohol of your limoncello (you’ll need a hydrometer for that), we can give you some ballpark estimates: Starting Alcohol Their Limoncello is completely free of GMOs, practically making it organic. It is also safe for kosher consumption and is gluten-free, meaning it’s one of the most accessible Italian liqueurs out there. Let the limoncello rest in a cool dry place out of direct light for 30 days (photo 9) Alcohol to use: When the infusion is ready, heat the water in a large saucepan over high heat. Add in the sugar, whisk, and bring to a boil. Boil until the sugar is completely dissolved, about two minutes. Let simple syrup cool to room temperature. Serve chilled: Limoncello is traditionally served chilled, straight from the freezer or refrigerator. This helps to enhance the flavor and aroma of the lemon.

You could honestly use any alcohol you wanted and turn it into a lemon liqueur. However, you’ll most commonly see limoncello made from one of two alcohols: Add the simple syrup. My standard recipe is to bring 5 cups of water just to a boil and then remove it from the heat and stir in 3.5 cups of white sugar. Then let it sit until it comes down to room temperature. I use filtered water for this and I now always use regular white sugar. I don't attempt to calculate the exact proportions needed. Sugar and water are cheap and simple syrup has many uses so I just make too much and measure out what I need. HOW LONG TO INFUSE: at least 8 days, best 3 weeks (if you’re using high proof alcohol like Everclear). With lower proof alcohol, like vodka it’s best to infuse for 1 month or more.Legend has it that it was Zeus who revealed the secret recipe of this precious infusion to an inhabitant of the land of the Sirens.

You can add a couple of orange peels or tangerine peels to infuse with lemons giving your Limoncello lemon-orange-y flavor.

Ingredients and Method

Alcohol, especially high proof alcohol has lower density than water (yes, water can be measured by weight and it’ll be equivalent to milliliters). There are those who claim that limoncello was already known in Roman times, as evidenced by some frescoes in Pompeii.

Chai Tea Gift Set. Tea fans will love this gift. Make some for yourself too, for warming winter sipping!A higher alcohol percentage will give you a stronger, more potent liqueur. However, it may be too strong for some people’s tastes. 75% or 151 proof (like Everclear 151) Drink Limoncello ice cold, NOT with ICE! Keep it in the freezer to have it always ready to drink. Alcohol and sugar prevent the liqueur from freezing, so don’t worry! Otherwise, remember to put it in the freezer at least three hours before serving.
