This looks like homemade limoncello (Italian lemon liqueur). 🍋✨
The pictures show lemon peels steeped in alcohol, then strained and bottled into pretty glass flasks. I’ll give you a classic recipe you can follow:
🍋 Homemade Limoncello Recipe
Ingredients:
- 10 organic lemons (thick-skinned, untreated if possible)
- 1 liter of pure alcohol (95%) or high-proof vodka (minimum 40%)
- 4 cups (800 g) granulated sugar
- 5 cups (1.2 liters) water
Instructions:
- Prepare the lemons
- Wash lemons well.
- Peel them with a vegetable peeler, making sure to remove only the yellow zest (avoid the bitter white pith).
- Infuse the alcohol
- Place the lemon peels in a large glass jar.
- Pour the alcohol over the peels.
- Seal tightly and let sit in a cool, dark place for 7–14 days. Shake the jar gently every day.
- Make the syrup
- After infusion, make a simple syrup by heating water and sugar until dissolved. Let cool completely.
- Strain & mix
- Strain the lemon peels from the alcohol.
- Mix the infused alcohol with the cooled syrup.
- Bottle it
- Pour into clean glass bottles and seal tightly.
- Let rest at least 1 week before drinking (longer = smoother flavor).
Serving:
- Serve ice cold, straight from the freezer.
- It’s perfect as a digestif after meals, or mixed into cocktails.
👉 Do you want me to also give you a non-alcoholic version (like a lemon syrup or lemonade concentrate) in case you’d like that option?
