· Lemons: This homemade limoncello recipe starts with 10 fresh lemons. · Vodka: You don't have to use expensive vodka, but avoid using the super cheap stuff for the best results. · Sugar: Three cups of white sugar ensures a perfectly sweet-tart drink. · Water: You'll need four cups of water.
Stir vodka mixture into the syrup. Strain into glass bottles, then seal each bottle with a cork. Let age at room temperature for 2 weeks. Store bottled limoncello in the freezer until icy cold. Serve in chilled vodka glasses or shot glasses.
Whenever possible, select organic limes because it’s actually the skin (zest) you use in making limecello and that’s also where all the pesticides are. Organic limes also aren’t waxed, which is good because that's more crap that ends up in your liquor. Try to choose thick-skinned limes with smooth skin.
