  • Limoncello is a beloved Italian liqueur that has gained worldwide fame for its tangy, refreshing taste. Made using just three simple ingredients. My Nonna’s family recipe will transport you to the sunny Mediterranean coast with just one sip.
    Moreover, the intense citrus flavor of fresh lemons blends perfectly with the sweetness of sugar and the kick of alcohol. Additionally, resulting in a delightful explosion of taste in your mouth.
    Whether you enjoy it on its own, as an after-dinner digestif, or mixed into a refreshing cocktail. Lastly, limoncello is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.

This sounds like a very authentic recipe! I trust grandma, period! The colour looks just like the ones I saw in Positano. Cannot wait to try it again. Not sure if I can get the grain liquor from my local store. Last time I used Grey Goose vodka, followed a recipe on TH-cam.

Now I can make it and think of the wonderful time we had in Italy!!! Nonna is so adorable, I am also going to try the limoncello cream. Lovely video.

      And yes, I use vodka too since its easier to get where I'm at as well. I use Eristoff for mine, a cheap but pure russian vodka, but any vodka should work as long as its taste is pure. Now, since vidka has a lower alcoholic grade (around 40), I left the peels on the alcohol for longer. 30 days is enough. And use less water/milk, 1:1 alcohol to water for limoncello, and 1:1.3 alcohol to milk for crema di limoncello. Some water/milk gets lost in the boiling process ofc but thats expected. Leaving my limoncello with around 20 degrees of alcohol (you can use an online calculator for this), which is just about what I've seen comercial limoncellos have

    Great recipe; I am going to make limoncello cream with my next batch! Thank you both, so much!
    You might appreciate this story - my daughter has been allowed a small amount of limoncello at home on special occasions since she was in high school, so she knows what it is, and enjoys it. She's chosen never to be much of a drinker, she's controlled, introverted, and thoughtful by nature.
    When she was in college, she was able to study for a semester in Rome with about a dozen fellow students from her US Midwest college, which she loved! There was a small family restaurant on the ground floor of the building where all their flats were; they often ate meals there, mothered over by the nonna who ran the place.
    About halfway through the semester, the students were celebrating some milestone, and the nonna gifted them each a small glass of house/homemade limoncello. Being American college students, they assumed the small glass meant "shots" and slammed each glass down before my daughter could instruct them on how to savor the treat! After she explained their mistake, and soothed their host explaining their ignorance, my daughter bought a second round of limoncello so they could savor the drink. The students enjoyed this so much, two more students bought two more rounds...
    My daughter's fellow students discovered that, when tipsy, my daughter sings like a rowdy sailor and gives hugs without reservation! The nonna was so pleased that this six foot tall nordic blonde had an appreciation for limoncello that she mothered her all the more, the rest of their visit!
