Limoncello

[LeadFarmer]

Anyone else drink this?

Ive just discovered it and its fantastic to drink on a hot day, poured over ice and with a little lemonade, or tonic. Im on my third bottle in just one week. Bloody lovely stuff.

i've had it several times over the years in europe as a post dinner shot, usually on the house as a post dinner pallet cleanser..it's lovely stuff. Didn't know you could get it here tbh!

Love it. Best kept in the freezer.

Crema Limoncello is also lovely.

I've had it once or twice ( had an Italian GF for over a decade ) yes very nice, also makes rather nice alcoholic lollies.

Popular here in the Algarve. Great Summer drink.

After a fair amount of internal struggle, first one way, then the
other, I’ve talked myself into letting this one pass unheeded.

Much Limoncello would be perfect for such a use, IME.

But, it might be really good at cleaning pallets...

Lovely stuff, I was introduced to it a few years go in Sardinia at a lovely Pizza place, after the meal they would plonk a bottle each of Limoncello and Mirto (local liqueur) on the table, 2 shot glasses and let us get on with it and wouldn't charge us.

Goes well, if a bit dangerously, with prosecco or champagne as a mixer.

Make it yourself it’s not hard!

Use a good grain vodka it takes a few weeks but we’ll worth it

This is the kind of drink that tastes superb as a post-dinner aperitif on the banks of Lake Garda, but like petrol when you try it after a rainy BBQ in Bracknell.

I blame the heat on my poor spelling efforts there...but, ever see a dirty pallet in an Italian restaurant?

Went on a stag doo to Italy last year and stayed in an airbnb where the owner had many many demi-johns full of the stuff. Brought a bottle home and love it with Prosecco.

About 10 weeks ago I started making my own batch and I reckon this weekend could well be my first sampling of it.

This is the recipe I used. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/ho...

Ramping it up to a total of 2 litres with the additional syrup has made nearly a gallon (minus lemon peel; displacement)

It's a great summer drink. Quite easy to make, but use a good quality vodka and the best lemons you can find. I've a bottle in the freezer (remains liquid of course!) and it goes very nicely poured over some vanilla icecream.

We've just returned but developed a taste for hugo/ugo? Proseco and elderflower over ice with mint and fresh sliced apple...mmmm
