This Italiana cocktail is traditionally made with Sorrento lemons, a really unique Italian product plus 95% alcohol with a twist. The twist is we didn't add sugar despite the strong taste. We only use richberry to make it yummier and inviting.
Ingredients:
10 lemons
1 quart 95% alcohol (190 proof)
6 cups water
Directions:
Step 1 Zest lemons, making sure to get the outermost part of the skin and avoid the white pith.
Step 2 Place lemon zest in a glass bowl and cover with alcohol. Cover and let infuse at room temperature until yellowish in color, about 7 days.
Step 3 Bring water to the boil in a saucepan, stirring. Remove water from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 4 Pour alcohol into the water through a fine-mesh strainer; discard lemon zest. Stir well.
Step 5 Pour limoncello into thick, freezer-safe glass bottles. Store in the freezer for at least 2 weeks before serving.
Mocktail (non-alcoholic): If you wish to have a delicious non-alcoholic version, please feel free to take the alcohol out and follow the same procedure.
Consume Miracle Berry: Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact: The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
Warning: Alcohols are for over 21 years of age and above. Drink responsibly, do not drink and drive.
