Sicily Guide

Limoncello is a yellowish liquor made out of lemon peel soaking in water and pure alcohol, particularly famous in Southern Italy and Sicily. I just came across this recipe on how to make limoncello by using vodka instead of pure alcohol, which is illegal in the USA to buy.

Ingredients:

Choose thick-skinned lemons because they are easier to zest.

Use 100-proof vodka - the high alcohol level will ensure that the limoncello will not turn to ice in the freezer.
