Limoncello That Packs A Punch

This is a great after dinner aperitif and it packs a punch! One little cordial full will relax you quite nicely! The Meyer lemons and Everclear alcohol really make the difference in this recipe! The recipe and a bag of Meyer lemons were given to me for Christmas from my dear friend Valerie, and the rest is history!

Recipe «Limoncello That Packs A Punch» presented in category Recipes / Coctails, to prepare this dish you will need no more 15 minutes. To make this dish at home by prescription from the author shef would need: 4 1/2 c sugar, 32 oz water, 5 bottle empty oil & vinegar bottles .

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 c sugar 
• 32 oz water 
• 5 bottle empty oil & vinegar bottles 

Instructions

1. Peel lemons with a potato peeler and place rinds in a large jar or covered glass container. I used my 2 qt. glass Pampered Chef Mixing bowl/picture with lid.
2. Pour in alcohol and let set for 4 to 7 days on kitchen counter. (I do 7 days for a stronger lemon flavor). I also give it a little stir every day, but not necessary.
3. When your lemon peelings and alcohol are ready, boil sugar in water til sugar dissolves. Let cool to room temp.
4. Strain the alcohol & peelings and pour into sugar/water, leaving peelings in the strainer. Stir well.
5. Pour into bottles and keep in the freezer until ready to drink. These lovely bottles of liquid gold make very nice gifts too, if you can part with any! Enjoy!
6. *Hint: I squeeze all the juice from the lemons and freeze them in ice trays. When frozen, you can bag them up and use them for cooking or to make lemonade!
