I made some limoncello a few weeks ago. I followed these directions from Dabbled (thanks!) and it really turned out great. Many of the other recipes that I saw online used a ton more simple syrup. This recipe only called for 1 cup which is perfect. I used the zest from 8 organic lemons and let the vodka/zest mixture sit for almost 5 weeks. It’ll take the hubby and I forever to get through the bottle, but I know a few friends who might want to come over and help us out.
It’s a little strong going down the throat, so I may have to try it with some seltzer water or something. I also just found a recipe in one of my veg times magazine with limoncello soaked ladyfingers, strawberries and some kind of cream (yogurt, pudding?) . I may have to try that out too.
Totally unrelated, a friend of mine just opened her own etsy shop, Touches of Color. She makes beautiful jewelry and has a great eye for color. I get so excited when friends learn about etsy and are inspired to make beautiful things to sell. Please hop on over and take a look.
Limoncello is yummy with champagne, a twist, and a sugared rim! yum.
ooOooo, champagne?!? Sounds wonderful.
Do I ever tell you how much sunshine your blogpost with stories, photos and creative ideas gives me every time I spot a new entry in my reader? I don’t think so. But you do. I find that I return to the class you took on prayer-flags (and the whole story of you weekend), and take another look at the small houses and birds for the swaps around christmas. You have such a way of doing and making creative things, different, still in the same style, – your style.
Well, that’s all. I might not leave much trace on everyday bases, but as I said, – I do like your posts and the sunshine they give me
salute! i raise a glass with you from here
I love that first photo! And I’m excited about the recipe – I think I will try it. I always have tons of lemons on hand and, actually, lots of vodka. I tried making cherry vodka with fruit from my orchard last year and bought way too much.
Gorgeous photos! They make me want to taste. Maybe I’ll try that recipe. Thank you!
