[16Metallaro12]

[shmuunk]

"Put it in a choul dry place?" 0:24

[RestaurantEquipment]

Sometimes waiting is the hardest part. Also, can we use Doritos Consomme instead of alcohol?

[bodhranful]

Most forget to add that the amount of lemons you use is entirely up to you. The more you use the more flavor you get. You can't screw it up. I would also experiment a little and add some Rose Lyme juice to it when your going to pour. ... a little sour mixure.

[eatingperson]

What's lih-coor?

[TDAmericanify]

@eatingperson Liqueurs are alcoholic beverages that are bottled with added sugar and have added flavors that are usually derived from fruits, herbs, or nuts.

[skateboarder41]

[hanest3842]

[rulogiu]

if that's limoncello, I'm Margaret Tatcher

[narutofan321211]

@rulogiu Hi margaret!! XD

[SoobahkE]

Great video. Concise, explains all you need. I wish more people understood that on youtube. Having made gallons of this stuff I can only agree with Octothorn, no white pith!  Just the yellow zest, so make sure you have a new peeler, it makes all the difference as it will let you shave off just the good stuff.

[1MrRepoman]

it takes a mounth 2 make 1 drink

[PhoenixTamer2310]

sweet it's 2 am, it's 35 degrees in my room and i don't have anything to drink in te fridge, just on the table.... and i'm watching how to make limonchello

[octothorn]

Terrible recipe. He forgot to mention you can NOT allow ANY of the white pith to be on the lemon peels before they are added to the alcohol.

The white lemon pith is full of horrible bitter chemical salts that will ruin your limoncello. Do not just peel the lemon, you need to zest it. Zest carefully, and get NONE of the bitter pith, and you will have a wonderful limoncello.

Get too much pith and you will have a crass undrinkable lemon flavoured bitter syrup.

[MetaTheorist]

@octothorn Thank you for this important tip!

[story762]

@octothorn Exactly, I've been through about ten of videos and not one of them actually considers making the final product into something you'd enjoy vs. buying a cheap limencello at the store.

The last limencello I made used Russian Standard Platinum as a base and used about 1/3rd of the sugar most of these recipes called for. It also had small amounts of orange rind and honey to accent it. You might as well make it your own limencello if you're going to do it at home, and do it wel!

[octothorn]

@story762 Thanks, I whole-heartedly agree.

Further to my previous comment, I would like to add that it really is unnecessary to soak the lemon zest any longer than 2 days.

We really are only after the lemon oils, and after zesting the peel those oils will easily mix with the alcohol.

Soaking the zest for a month the way he suggest is just silly - you don't get anything more out of it after the first day or so.

Best wishes.

[purity4all]

@octothorn Is it really important to make sure you don't get any pith, like some of the other videos are saying?

[octothorn]

@purity4all

Yes. Completely. In fact the less pith the better the final result.

The very bitter compounds in the pith are a type of salt that is strongly detectable by the human tastebuds, we can taste them even at very low concentrations.

This video is evidence that the author can write a book without really understanding the subject material.

[indaburn]

what pecent does the vod have to be?? and what is simple syrup??lol

[SoobahkE]

@indaburn google it!

[kkurian10]

Why don't you just buy Lemon Vodka?

[SoobahkE]

@kkurian10 because it's not lemon vodka, nothing like it in fact for 2 reasons, it's a sweet liquor with tons of lemon flavor and there's no vodka in it.

[pinayatlove9]

Just water for now.

[ReJecTZGG]

of course this queer is playing with lemon balls

[kasonyaj1]

making liquors at home is fun and tasty and its easy, and im a fag

[SteamEqualsFAIL]

[carrionman]

where's the cream of tartar?

[darpa314]

What an asshole. I wonder if he thinks making a meth lab is just as simple. If he does, I hope it blows up in his face just as quick as his stupid video did. Off to the fridge for another beer.....

[ryansgonewayward1]

AND HE ADDED WHITE PARTS TO THE THICK PEELS...I SEE THEM...THIS GUY IS A NEWB...LOL

[OMGTakerusan]

Am i the only one that noticed the funny way he said cocktails XD

[VyvienneEaux]

Is it possible to use 95% ethylene alcohol from the pharmacy? Y'all connoisseurs out there want a "clean," flavorless, dry drink. I do not condone the use of alcohol; it rots at the simple society that many of "us" have taken to. Oh, how you do resent that obese man who grabs a beer with his friends; LOOK IN THE MIRROR. It's hard for most males to gain weight like that, but eating and drinking shit like you people, it's not hard to understand why. If this doesn't describe you, remember yo peers.

[cldump]

Vodka has flavor so it is not good to use. the best way is with Everclear. everclear is pure Grain with no flavors you want thi proof so when you add the simple syrup you can bring it down to around 80 proof or 70 proof.

[eatingperson]

lih-COORS! Can you make some lih-COORS light?

[hansanity]

everclear is illegal in Maine, wat do?

[Buckz0rs]

@hansanity

Pay attention to the video you twat.

>..Grain alcohol or high-proof vodka

>high-proof vodka

>vodka

>wat do

[zait12]

I don't like or drink alcohol but that looks way to delicious D:

[sprinktwink]

dude u look like a rapist

[sk8tafrnk]

@sprinktwink If your not a rapist, how on Earth are you supposed to get laid?

[mesahusa]

@sprinktwink lawl

[MrKlaw11]

The people complaining about how long it takes obviously haven't tasted real limoncello before.

And no your standard 40% or 80 proof vodka won't work that well. You should be able to find 151 proof just about any state. Ideally you are using 95% grain alcohol which is different from vodka.

The one and a half ounce syrup measurement is WAY off too. You want to end up about 80 proof AFTER adding the syrup so about 1:1 if you are using grain alcohol, but you can adjust to your taste.

[LeDweeb]

What proof does it end up being in the end if I use everclear?

[Bertminator]

@koelschwolf Is 40% good enough? That's the highest I can find up here.

[Bertminator]

Question for you. What's "Simple syrup"? and what % Vodka do you use? up here the strongest sold that I can find is 40% is that ok?

[Scurvymcdiggle]

@EnvisionWoW that is not fermentation there is no yeast so there is no fermentation. the alcohol is just pulling the essential oils and flavors out of the lemon zest.

[GMLFire]

stems and pith??? NOOOO! TAKE MORE CARE WHEN YOU PEEL THOSE LEMONS!!!

[alberto71437]

Wow i tryed it and it is delicious thanks u very much

[5novembre5]

il limoncello piu buono è quello italiano!!!!!!le cose italiane sono le migliori !!!

[johnshoots69]

looks like more than "an once and a half" of simple... maybe you mean cup and half?

[soccerstorm22]

no alcohol is being fermented in this video. fermentation is making alcohol (the conversion of sugar to alcohol and CO2). He uses existing alcohol (everclear) to make the limoncello. It takes a month simply for the flavors of the lemons to mix with the alcohol.

[corruptbomb]

SHOW TITS....and wtf is up with the begging DARK SPIRITS are these people fuking devil WORSHIPERS! and y would anyone drink fuking lemon peel shit thats been in a jar for almost a month NASTY!

[Moreoff]

Grain Alcohol = Everclear or equivalent..

Oh Baby!!!

[XxPuddingFaceXx]

Wow that takes long to make. =0

[shifttradition]

that sounds good.

[brbgn2]

lol a month to make xD u better make tons of it if it will take 1month

[kaikahitonari]

make tons, AND sell it to friends and fam.

[Cerycy]

lol i think that's illegal in america

[anozir]

nope, you arn't making alcohol just flavoring it.

[Cerycy]

Um...it's illegal to sell alcohol without a permit

[BlueBajs]

@anozir Did he say that you were making Alcohol?

[anozir]

@BlueBajs dude. that comment was a year ago and i was replying to someone who said that there was no fermentation so there cant be alcohol >>

[BlueBajs]

@anozir How would I know?

[inranglhood60]

@anozir Not once did he say that he was making alcohol.

[CarolineTurpentine]

@anozir he said making a liqueur, which is an altered alcohol.

[fatterandgaining]

@anozir He's making liquor, not alcohol. You need to know the difference between an ingredient and the food that ingredient is in. Alcohol is a drug found in drinks, Liquor is the name of these drinks. You make LIMONCELLO, as the title suggests, by flavoring ALCOHOL. He didn't say he was making alcohol at any point during this video. When someone says they are making tea, they don't mean growing and harvesting plants. They are taking ingredients already provided and brewing them into a drink.

[xmericjx]

its not illegal to make at all. The only thing that would make it illegal is it you where to sell it for a profitable gain, becuase that would be dodging taxes on it.

[manuelito1233]

Nice and smooth.

[Xxkitty94xX]

a month to make...

[n4v32x]

thats really good but takes a lot of time to make... unless you are preparing for some kind of party over a month before then its a waste of time in my opinion... just drink a lemonade :P

[SpecialKit]

You have not tasted Limoncello

[sponjiraggae]

you don't have to make it for any special occasion , just to get drunk of some good lemon shit in a month.

[loyalist33]

cool
