ITALIAN LIMONCELLO
Limoncello takes some time but it's definitely worth it! Use an alcohol content calculator to dilute the limoncello to your desired proof. The longer this rests, the mellower it gets.

Steps:
- Combine alcohol and lemon zest in a 1-gallon jug with a tight-fitting lid. Place in a cool, dark place to rest for 1 month. Swirl contents of the jug every few days.
- Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Set simple syrup aside to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
- While simple syrup is cooling, place a sieve over a large bowl and line with coffee filters. Strain alcohol mixture through coffee filters to remove all sediment. Replace the filters as needed until all the mixture has been filtered. Filter one more time to ensure all sediment has been removed. Discard coffee filters and zest.
- Add enough simple syrup to the alcohol mixture to reach the desired alcohol-by-volume percentage; refer to an alcohol content calculator.
- Divide limoncello among 6 wine bottles. Seal with corks. Allow to rest in a cool, dark place for 1 month, swirling every few days. Strain one more time to remove any leftover sediment if desired.
- Place 1 bottle of limoncello in the freezer and serve icy-cold. Store remaining bottles at room temperature.

LIMONCELLO (ITALIAN LEMONCELLO) OR ORANGECELLO
Got this from a family I stayed with in Sorrento, Italy. Don't want to lose it. Can be made with either lemons or oranges. The Italian tradition is to use lemons since they are so abundant in the Almalfi coast. Americans showed me how to make this low sugar/low carb by substituting "spenda" instead of sugar.

Steps:
- Take a large glass jar.
- Large enough to hold to bottle of 750ml vodka.
- Add one of the bottles of vodka into the jar.
- Save the other bottle of vodka for later.
- Grate the zest of the 15 lemons into the jar of vodka.
- Cover jar tightly and let sit at room temperature for 30-40 days.
- The longer it rests- the better it will taste.
- No need to shake or stir the contents- all you have to do is be patient and wait.
- As the limoncello sits, the vodka takes the flavor and yellow color from the lemon peels.
- After 30-40 days, take the sugar (or Splenda) and place into a pan.
- Add the water and cook for about 7 minutes- until it becomes a thick sauce or syrup.
- Let the sugar mixture cool.
- Then open the lid on the jar of lemon and vodka mixture and add the sugar mixture into the jar.
- Add the 2nd bottle of vodka.
- Close lid on jar tightly and let it sit again for another 30-40 days.
- After the 30-40 days has passed, strain the lemon peel (lemon zest) and discard the zest (peel).
- Pour the remaining liquid, which is now lemoncello into bottles and place into the freezer until ready to serve.

ORANGECELLO
Steps:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the oranges in long strips (reserve the oranges for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the orange peels; discard the pith. Put the orange peels in a 2-quart pitcher or large glass bowl. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the orange peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Pour the syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the orangecello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the orangecello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
TRADITIONAL ITALIAN LIMONCELLO
Traditional Italian limoncello is typical of the Amalfi coast, a beautiful area around Naples. It's traditionally made with Sorrento lemons, which are large and flavorful and a really unique Italian product.
