Liqueur Limoncello, or Italian "mezim"

[ElenaBK]

ElenaBK, Tricia, my son-in-law hangs either one lemon or one grapefruit in a jar of vodka (alcohol or moonshine). The jar is tightly closed. The fruit should not touch the alcoholic liquid. The fetus hangs for about a month. The alcohol changes color and takes on a suspended fruit flavor. The result is a strong alcoholic drink without sugar with a pleasant aftertaste.
And the fruit itself is only in the trash.

my husband sometimes can't stand the week
PS But I have Limoncello on vodka from under lemon zest, because I can't find normal alcohol in my area

He also removes a sample from me in 5-7 days, he says that it is already normal. We do it with alcohol.
I also like to make a cocktail - half limoncello with sweet soda or just soda (not mineral water!)

[Ikra]

Ikra, Ira, thank you very much for the recipe! I cooked it on my 80-degree moonshine. Insisted for a month. Very tasty! Everyone liked it, even men! I will do it more than once - that's for sure!

At first, my husband didn't really want to give me a liter of moonshine. Yesterday I brought it myself - do it again!

[Rusalca]

Rusalca, I am very glad! If we spoiled my husband's moonshine, it would be such an embarrassment)))) And so - let him enjoy his health! In moderation, and with our bread-baking snacks - a sweet thing!

I also came to say thank you for the recipe, we do it constantly, we like to add to cocktails, and I add cake to baked goods: muffins or gingerbreads, very tasty, like candied fruits. The impregnation in the cake is done with alcohol, it gives a "moss", and I store it in the freezer (cake), it does not freeze.

[Pipa]

PipaI am so glad the recipe lives on and comes in handy!

I do it regularly and repeatedly, only replacing alcohol with vodka (in the absence). I keep the rest of all the proportions.
There should always be a few bottles at home. Everyone who has tried it requires repetition. The daughter only wears Limoncello for gifts to friends. It's very funny, there were several reviews (both from my mother and from my cousin) that after they bought my liquor in a store and didn't drink it, it was not tasty, and it was about my native Italian, bought in Dutyfree.
A very good recipe. Thank you.

[Barmamam]

Barmamam,

It's very funny, there were several reviews (both from my mother and from my cousin) that after they bought my liquor in a store and didn't drink it, it was not tasty, and it was about my native Italian, bought in Dutyfree.

Almost word for word the same is said by our guests who have tasted our Limoncello. They also sprinkled Italian authentic limoncello.

I continue to make grapefruit chello for one fan on request - it turns out awesome.

Thanks for the recipe again! This is the only homemade alcoholic drink that we constantly have in our house!

[Tricia]

Tricia, what about the grapefrucello recipe? New Year is coming soon, in the range to offer guests

[Barmamam]

Barmamam, Tricia, Hellenhow you please me! I haven't done it for a long time, because we somehow "left the Major League." But I'm extremely glad that this recipe has taken root on the forum and went to the people.

[Anastasia]

Anastasia, and I am very interested about grapefrucello))) share with us, pliz

[Tricia]

All TRICKS !!!

I continue to make grapefruitchello on request

Tricia, Anastasia, and share the recipe with the Brothers / Sisters, eh ??? You're not greedy Girl, are you? Be Laska, scribble proportions? If you don't want a separate recipe, check out here ...

I think that Irina, will not be so against it, or I am greatly mistaken ...

That's Hellen, Yarik, write / ask about it .... Do not refuse? We can even have time to make / try / sip for the old new year, eh ??? !!!

[Umka]

Umka, I already wrote and will write here - I am always "for" in my topics, so that people share what is painful)))) Grapefrucello is sick, do not hide in yourself! As if in spirit, confess here, in front of your comrades

[Irina]

Irina, I was impatient to cook / try it, and

Grapefrucello is sick, do not hide in yourself! As if in spirit, confess here, in front of your comrades

and all other appeals and beating with the forehead - this is already to Anastasiaso that she heard and condescended to our requests / entreaties !!!

[Grapefruitchello]

Girls, well, you give!
Well, I am writing here, because this is not a recipe, but a rehash of Limoncello!

Grapefruitchello
But! I warn you that grapefruit chello is more steamy in production, and in taste - with a fair bitterness! I make it for the Schweppes fancier bitter (the tonic is so bitter, carbonated).
I buy the densest pink grapes. It turns out cool from green sweets + limes, from yellow grapes. But you can confuse the color later and give something else. Well, you get the idea, right?
I take a can of 800-1000 ml, a can of 3 liters, 3 huge pink grapes, 2 lemons from Limoncello without a skin and without a white rind (I always have), two bottles of vodka 0.75 each. Sugar to taste, vanilla a quarter of the pod shell (sometimes).
Make sure that there are no warnings that the peel of the fruit is not worked off with completely poisonous means !!!
1. Carefully wash my grapefruits, with households. soap with a brush, scald with boiling water, wash again with a brush.
2. Cut the zest as thinly as possible with a sharp vegetable cutter, put the zest in an 800 ml jar (or a 1 l jar),
2. I fill with one bottle of vodka, as much as I like.
4. I remove for 2 weeks or until the zest fades and the vodka acquires the color of the zest.
5. I carefully remove albedo - a white crust from the grapes - remove all films from the slices and be sure to remove all the seeds, blender the pulp. I also clean lemons without zest from albedo, necessarily from seeds, but not from films, I blender with grapes and
6.Pour into the second can + sometimes a piece of vanilla pod.

Why without grape films! Since they are bitter and the tincture will turn out super-brutally bitter! For me at least.
Why does not everyone insist in banks together? 1) Because sometimes we need a separate transparent vodka infused with the zest. 2) because this way you can adjust the bitterness of the finished grapefruit chello by mixing then the required amount of tinctures from different cans.

7. Further, after 2 weeks or later, I throw away the pale zest, filter the tincture from the second can and combine the transparent tincture and the opaque one in the required proportion, adding sugar to taste.

8. I give it to mature for 2 weeks, pour off the upper transparent layer, pour it into beautiful bottles.

The most delicious from Limoncello turned out with the addition of 1 hour. l. pink pepper, lemongrass stem and a piece of vanilla for 2 liters of vodka - just bombed liquor came out !!! As two drunks blew out a ryumaska ​​with her husband, in the evenings, 2 liters per month. I didn't have the strength to give such delicious food for gifts!

[Tricia]

Tricia, well, you're an entertainer! Straight aromas and emanate from these your stories! At least untie))))
I love grape bitterness, it would suit me, definitely.

[Tricia]

Tricia, Anastasia, huge, but 2 questions arose:

Sugar to taste

Dap hang in grams, at least with how many to start?

lemon grass stalk

Where do you get / buy this witch's stalk? I have run out of all Thai supplies ...
Everything, I sense that I will have time to do it by Christmas ... tomorrow I will go in search of grapefruit !!! Only I will do it in one container at once.

Tricia, you're an entertainer! Straight aromas and emanate from these your stories! At least untie))))
I love grape bitterness, it would suit me, definitely.

Yeah, I use Limoncello and Grapefruitcello as aromatherapy!

Dap hang in grams, at least with how many to start?

I start with 100 grams, because grapes are sweet. But I add lemons precisely so that there is a balance of sugar-acid-bitterness, therefore I add more sugar - 200-300 gr. I make the syrup, and sometimes I pour it (into the second jar) and shake the jar once a day until it dissolves.

Where do you get / buy this witch's stalk?

We sell fresh petioles in Okey, today they brought a new batch with delivery. They had just started to carry normal petioles, it was not in the summer, it’s not the season, probably xs ... I sprouted three petioles in the spring, now a whole bush is growing in a pot, we are breaking off the leaves.

add more sugar - gr 200-300

That is, it is for 1.5 liters of vodka + fruit juice / pulp.

We sell fresh stalks in Okey

, but this store is very far from me, but now I will look closely everywhere.

In the spring I sprouted three petioles, now a whole bush is growing in a pot, we cut off the leaves.

I had read about your Golden Hands before, but the scarlet flower from the potted basil didn’t come out of my ass, so on lim. petioles will not even attempt to eat ... but now I do not throw away the peel / lush rations from pistachios. It was your life hack and I use it, thank you / remember you !!!

[Luda]

Luda, I'm writing from the phone, I'm sorry that no quotes.
Yes, about 200-300 grams of sugar for more than 2 liters. But! Each time it is different, since the acidity / sweetness of grapes, additives, lemons, mood, cravings for sweets, etc. also change. Therefore, I do it in two different cans so that you can always correct the taste.

Do you have lemongrass in your spice shops or in herbal tea sets?
But I think you can do it without it! The main taste is given by pink pepper and a slice of vanilla pod or a little vanillin.

Oh, well, whatever you say! This is an unkillable herb-weed, I just poked it into the hydrogel and forgot, but she gave the root - I was surprised, to be honest.

[Anastasia]

Anastasia, Thank you! I love grapes)))

I made from oranges, what is the best name for it - orange cello?
So that's it. Delicious, but better from lemons! The husband said there is nothing to cuddle up, do only limoncello!

[Umka]

but now I don’t throw away the peel / lush rations from pistachios

Umka, Ludmila, why are you collecting? Please tell)

[* Кolyma *]

All TRICKS !!!

what are you collecting for? Please tell)

* Кolyma *, Tanya, Here you go

Cafe "At Pani Sonya" # 2328

[* kolyma *]

* kolyma *, Tanya, I boil the shells, wash, dry and store for planting flowers / spicy herbs instead of expanded clay and pebbles on the bottom.
The link is just a description of the process of planting a store basil.

My limonchelo was made about three years ago, and maybe more ... Stands in the x-ka. When I did, I tried it, I kind of liked it. And then all sorts of events ... That's interesting, can they be treated or not? I don't drink myself, but it costs so much ...

[strawberry]

strawberry, Natasha, I poured my limoncello into a lemonade bottle with a screw cap, took my neighbor to the dacha to treat her. We drank a little with her and forgot, forgot until next summer. That is, the liqueur spent the winter in the country. In late spring we found it and drank it. Nothing has changed in him.

Sveta, I understood. So you can treat? Maybe you take off the test, otherwise ...: lol: I will say that Sveta approved.

[strawberry]

strawberryNatasha, I just told my story with limoncello.

[strawberry]

strawberry, open, smell. If there is no smell of mustiness, rot - I think you can try. In principle, nothing can happen there, except for a decrease in the degree. Moreover, in the refrigerator. Cognacs cost themselves for three to five years, and what are they doing?

Girls, opened it, sniffed it Smells very tasty, transparent. Why spoil there? Well I strained it on alcohol. So I'm treating you! Light, Wildebeest! I was joking

I always store liqueurs at room temperature. I have had Irinino Limoncello for 2 years now and nothing is done with him, as well as with homemade cherry. We check it periodically.

Tell me if there is no alcohol, can it be made with vodka, if so, what proportions?

[Fruktoza]

Fruktoza,

Or do it with vodka. Then the water can be halved in the syrup (which is a shame, because the final product will be less). Or not to reduce, and sacrifice the strength of the finished product (in my opinion, not criminal, it will still be delicious).

We have discussed this here many times, because alcohol is not always available. There are other versions of the girls. Read Temko. I forgot when I did, unfortunately. Health does not allow.
