This delightful lemon-flavored liqueur is not only refreshing and perfect for sipping on warm evenings, but it's also super easy to make.

Ingredients
- 10 organic lemons
- 1 bottle of gluten-free vodka
- 2 cups of water
- 2 cups of sugar
Instructions
-
Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any wax or pesticides. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel off the yellow part of the lemon skin, making sure to avoid the white pith, which can make the limoncello bitter.
-
Place the lemon peels in a glass jar and pour the vodka over them. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least one week. The longer you let it infuse, the stronger the lemon flavor will be.
-
After the infusion period, combine the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool.
-
Strain the vodka mixture to remove the lemon peels, then mix in the sugar syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more sugar syrup if necessary.
-
Transfer the limoncello to bottles and let it chill in the freezer before serving. Enjoy your homemade limoncello straight out of the freezer or mix it into cocktails for a burst of citrusy flavor.
So why not try making your own batch of homemade limoncello? It's a fun and rewarding process that will leave you with a delicious beverage to enjoy with friends and family. Whether you're gluten-free or not, this recipe is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
