Girls, I've read about liquor, I want to put a portion today, but it just doesn't reach me, if I still replace alcohol with vodka, how much water to pour into the syrup, so as not to lose much in the fortress, 150 ml?.
Natalia K.
I replaced alcohol with vodka. Did as written in the recipe, that is, did not reduce anything. But I think that limoncello on vodka will still be weaker than on alcohol.
Ikra
I myself made the second portion of vodka. Reduced water in half, everything else - according to the recipe. Of course, this "plant" will be much less strong, but no less tasty. Reduce the water to 150g, I think so. While the development of a recipe for vodka is in the experimental stage

IkraWhen making infusions on cherries, the cherries are offered to be frozen for further use - in the cake Drunk cherries and cheesecakes, but have you tried to reuse lemon? lemongrass, casseroles and something like that?
Ikra
The first portion, which is on alcohol, pulled out all "human" from lemon. That is, it, of course, smelled of lemon, but it looked whitish and unpresentable. Maybe the second portion, which will only stand for two weeks with vodka, will be attached somewhere if there is nothing in sight.

Here's what I came up with: someone on alcohol, we will consider it limoncella, someone on vodka - limoncino
Irina, how to call something that has been insisting on me for several days? There is no alcohol, there was no vodka in the house either. Filled with homemade product. I took six large lemons, 150ml of water and poured 0.5 liters of homemade drink. The two-liter can turned out to be incomplete ... I thought: "What if it will be rather weak?" And she added another half liter. It turned out just under the cover. Now I'm waiting for the New Year ... The alcohol meter is ready, I will report what happened.

We will measure, measure and measure again in every way ...
Have you already? When did you have time? What did you fail to measure? Few degrees?

Girls, I think that if on vodka, then you don't need water, but increase the amount of vodka. IMHO.

Natalia 24 , it was limoncello, limonchino too. Let it be limonchita

I DO NOT have alcohol, the pulp and the thermometer did not go down from above in the jar, then I tried to strain it into a glass, it is a thankless task to measure the degree in such a delicious drink

So, I didn't understand something. Who should try limoncello on vodka in two weeks? And who has alcohol in a month? Then I will have to stage it again, for the sample will be taken by a team of workers.
Ikra
So so. According to the materials that I dug up in the internet from various sources, the people of limoncello insist from a week to a month. And everyone says that this is the only way to live. Therefore, I decided for myself: to insist on it for at least 2 weeks, but not more than a month, no matter what, vodka or alcohol. I dismiss a week (as an insistence period) right away: according to my previous (but not very rich) experience, it (a week) is not enough for the process of "friendship" between alcohol and additives to be successful. For two weeks, everything that I had tried before infused perfectly: berries, dried fruits took fusel oils (if any) from vodka, and they themselves gave everything that they had to give, and the drink became soft and aromatic.
If anyone has any other thoughts, I will be glad if you share.

please tell me, is the liquor very sweet and sugary? Is it possible to reduce sugar or not categorically?
I'm just not a fan of sweet alcohol, but then I wanted to cook soooo
Ikra
I think sugar can be reduced. It's certainly not sugary (since there are a lot of lemons), but sweet. Reduce it, do it as you like it. Twist the lemons, fill them with alcohol, and then make, for example, a half dose of syrup, pour, stir. If the sweetness suits you, a fraction of warm boiled water, no matter how much you added. Or you can not top up, see for yourself.
The recipe is folk, do as tasty as you like, it will still be good.
I think we have surpassed Italy in terms of the scale of limoncello production
irysska
Usse understood
There is sugar, there is vodka - I will buy it tomorrow Liqueur Limoncello, or Italian mezim

And another question - the recipe says "granulated sugar - 400 ml" - these are grams or
Ikra
Oh, Christmas trees ... I forgot about sugar ... In short, I poured it into the glass with which I measure the liquid, up to a risk of 200 ml. And so twice I remember, once tried to weigh, about 200 g and it comes out. There, if you approach strictly, a little more of this risk is obtained.
naya
And I met such a recipe in a magazine: 1L of vodka, 8 lemons, 800g of sugar, 650ml of water. Bring a thin layer of zest with sugar and water to a boil and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Cool, add vodka and juice of 6 lemons. Infuse for 2-3 weeks, then bottle. Maybe someone will come in handy.
Ikra
Also an interesting recipe! The main thing is that "Insist 2-3 weeks" is an important detail. This suggests that we are all on the right track.
Gaby
Caviar, I look at your recipe and think, when they present me with good alcohol, they say it's better not to buy in pharmacies, I would do ...

Thanks: girl_curtsey: calmed down. And then inadvertently I thought that sweet water would turn out.
Oh, I completely forgot to tell. Yesterday at work they brought me 0.5 liters of alcohol. How I got everyone with limoncella. Today I ran to the store and bought 5 large lemons. And I made the second run like this.I cut off the whole zest from the lemons, put it in a jar and filled it with alcohol. I cut the lemons in half and squeezed out the juice (from five lemons, it turned out 0.650 grams of juice) I squeezed the juice out of the lemongrass, which I showed to the kitchen. little things. The juice squeezed out remarkably, only one slightly damp white skin remained. I added 0.250 grams of sugar to the juice, stirred it and put it in the refrigerator. After a week I will connect everything, add sugar and let it brew. So I will have two types of limoncella.
irysska
It is finished Today I bought lemons (it rained all day yesterday, so yesterday the purchase did not take place).
Made Limoncello with vodka, sugar - in a measuring cup to 0.2 Sugar, water - 0.2 liters.
Now there is only a whole month left ... well, just for the New Year and I will taste it - 4 days hardly matter

Let's all clink glasses with limoncella in the New Year!

I was chatting about limoncella with friends. One writes:
"An acquaintance of mine, a colonel, does this ... 5 liters of alcohol in a 19 liter bottle from the cooler, how many lemons and sugar are there ... half an hour or an hour to brew and drink until you see the bottom)))"
So you can calmly insist as long as you have enough patience

Yesterday, in the same chat with friends about limoncella, an acquaintance reproached me:
"Your limoncella SOONES!" I'm just in perplexity. The girl put it on vodka ... What should you drink before ... so that the limoncella will sober up after?
Write how you will feel.

On Monday I put it on vodka, and today they gave me some spirits. I’m thinking, can I raise the degree?
Ikra
It is possible and to raise. I just can't figure out how. Or stir up one more portion, and then compare.
Dusya Tapkina
So I think, or just add a gram of 50-100? : girl_in_dreams: while the current is delivered?

I would put the second portion for the purity of the experiment

there won't be enough lemons for the second portion. And not enough alcohol ...

Well, I made two portions, and distributed the remaining 4 liters so that I would not push for feats ... well, in the sense of insisting on something else ... then try ... and insist on something else ...
