Very good with the lavender. I love this recipe. I make it probably once a month during the summer.




Too much sugar?

I think that the sugar and water measurements for this recipe might be wrong...other limoncello recipes have more water than sugar and this one turned out quite syrupy.




Really good but too sweet

People are amazed when you tell them you make your own limoncello. That's half the fun -- and it's really not all that hard once you get into a rythem of peeling the lemons. I would cut back the syrup a little next time, I find it to be too sweet for my taste as written. It did have wonderful lemon flavor and color.

This is terrific. I have one bottle sweetened and one bottle unsweetened. P.S. For all the whiners out there recipes are ideas and suggestions which you may adjust to your tastes however uneducated they are.

The worse part of this recipe is you must wait the 30 days to taste it! However, after the first day you can smell how great it going to be. I used Stoli as my alcohol and did not use the optional lavender (hard to find in the Caribbean) it was wonderful, next batch (and there will be a next batch)I will use a little less sugar. Very fresh, crisp and smooth taste. The color is a nice clear yellow.




great and easy

The simple syrup is cooling now - the lemon/vodka is RIPE and I can't wait!!! Is this served over ICE / FROZEN / or STRAIGHT UP? How many ounces in an aperitif glass?

Thank you so much for the recipe! You have saved me $20.00 at the liquor store. I am sure it will be great...even if I have to wait 4 weeks.




wrong measurements

this reciped turned out super sweet. i'm going to try and put some more vodka in it to counteract the sweetness. i really think 6 cups of sugar is incorrect. don't make this recipe until you look at other limoncello recipes and see how much water/sugar to add.

Syrupy-Sweet

I agree that something is wrong w/ the sugar measurement--the end product is cloying at best. I love Michael, but something isn't right w/ this recipe; in order to drink it, we have to mix it w/ reduced cranberry juice, i.e., something especially tart to offset the syrupy sweetness.




first time, PERFECT!

Will make, but must comment 1st re: others saying the recipe is too sweet. Limoncello IS very sweet. Emphasize that syrupyness by keeping it in the freezer!
