The limoncello comes out more of a soft drink than a liqueur. Also, the lemon zest in alcohol should probably be more than a week (generally until the zest loses its yellow colour). Always be careful about the sugar. Start with less. More can be added later., approved=true, user_name=Norman Holm, hs_createdate=1702249879379, rating_new__1_5_=2, id=11175656467}, {comment_text=NO! do not any water. Lemon zest as above. Myers Lemons are very good too. 1 litre of Absolute Vodka. Combine the two for 2 to 3 weeks in an air tight jar. Strain / filter into a clean jug. Add 3/4 cup of Chelsea Caster Sugar or 1 cup if you like it sweeter. Stir until dissolved then bottle. Makes 1200 - 1250 ml. And Alcohol content reduction is minimised without the water. It will never last 2 months in the fridge.... :) It is a beaut summer drink over crushed ice., approved=true, user_name=Phil, hs_createdate=1702249872413, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175431021}, {comment_text=Just a question. How long can you keep it in the fridgeChelsea Sugar:If you store it in airtight bottles in the refrigerator it can keep for 2 months., approved=true, user_name=Janet, hs_createdate=1702249872180, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175484514}]}
