Limoncello Recipe **FOR ADULTS**

[fachino1]

LOVE THE VIDEO GOT THE EVERCLEAR I'M ON MY WAY SOLUTE

[guiltyspark9]

Great video. I agree homemade gifts mean more especally when its the hooch. I love the idea of the neat bottles too! Keep the videos coming!

[brook61]

Our friend from Napoli would not give us his recipe, said it was bad luck and would ruin his limoncello. Took me quite a few batches to figure it out, almost identical to yours, thanks for sharing. BTW Grain comes as 151 or 190 proof in California, we dilute to 35-42 percent by weight (75 proof)

[gothembadboy1]

Thank you for such a quick response !!!

[gothembadboy1]

Love the video and the recipe!!! WHERE DO YOU GET THE BOTTLES???

Please get back to me :)

Respectfully,

Frank DeAngelis

[PrincessDiana161]

@gothembadboy1 I got them at Pier1 :)

[eatingperson]

I'm 13 years old and made this recipe...it made me dizzy and puke all over!

[seattwa]

I finally found two large glass jars with locking lids. Is your limoncello sweet? I don't like mine overly sweet. My (first ever) batch will be ready for the simple syrup next week. I can't wait! Thanks for the reply, and hope to hear from you guys again!

Ted

[RalphCollins2010]

I now make it and get drunk on LemonChello because of you 2

THANK YOU !!!

[PrincessDiana161]

@RalphCollins2010 You're welcome :)

[seattwa]

Is your large storage container made of glass? Can you use a plastic container if you don't have a glass one?

[PrincessDiana161]

@seattwa Sure :)

[1111iluvmusic]

Oh my goodness! I loved watching your video! You two are so cute AND FUNNY.....such a fun couple. My kind of people! You had me talking to my computer screen and laughing out loud! God bless you and thank you for the recipe and tips. I can't wait till my batch is ready:)

[rubeniv]

[Boonedaba]

What is the reason for leaving the pith out?

[JoyeuseXI]

@Boonedaba It's bitter.

[tpjl25]

What great videos.You two are great personalities.Thanks for posting, and thanks for being real. Grazie!

[ejd155]

You two make make a great team!!! Nice video.

[mayhoo22]

Where in New York are you from??? That accent is a dead giveaway. Plus you sound like every woman in my family.

[SweetGiovySweet]

Hi, just want to say that I am Italian and I think your recipe is amazing =)

Im watching all your videos.

Bye =)

[AquaOtaku]

is the amount of simple syrup in the description for one or two bottles of everclear?

[PrincessDiana161]

@AquaOtaku for one bottle :)

[chyrd]

You two crack me up...

[ROBISDISTURBED]

wont glass burst in the freezer with liquid  in it?

[PrincessDiana161]

@ROBISDISTURBED Alcohol doesn't freeze....just gets thick

[ROBISDISTURBED]

@PrincessDiana161 ahhhhhh makes perfect sense i learned something new today :)

[PrincessDiana161]

@ROBISDISTURBED I Always keep a bottle of Vodka in the freezer... not that I drink a lot, just keep it there so the Steaks have company *innocent look*

[dwimmerlaik]

@3:53 look at that! Boob-a-licious :)

[scott80100]

if i get drunk and fondle your boobies, im sorry.....

[PrincessDiana161]

@scott80100 LOL

[MrQSQS]

You will gain the sins of humans. Each of the view and the work of this poison Harmful to the mind and body

[missjimmydean]

your recipe made me trip my fucking ass off, thanx bitch, no wonder its illegal in most states :-x

[Rainy52]

You and Frankie are TERRIFIC!!  Loved your video!

[Enrichman]

It's nice that italians recipes are brought around the world! As italian I give you some tips: try to use less sugar, like 3 parts of it and 5 of water (1lt and an half of water and 1200gr of sugar for each lt of alcool).

After the adding of the syrup remeber of wait at least one week before drink it, and to drink it VERY COLD!

[Parmesana]

sounded smooooooth...hahhahhaa when he drank it

[cldump]

you want to let it sit for 50 days then filter the lemon out and you can use a calculator to determine what proof you want.

[OprahsKankles]

i'm 17 and i make a better limoncello. i make it with my grandmother all the time when i visit. zest the lemon instead of a using peeler, don't add as much sugar!! it's a sicilian recipe, not for a gay bar. also let it sit in the jar filled with 20 lemons, and it's not fermenting because more alcohol is not being produced. let it sit for 40 days, add the syrup and stick it in the freezer.

[nancy2u2]

Oh no...what the hell happened, Love you guys and now I find out there is no "you guys" ..what the hell??

[ednuk]

over crushed ice is great !

[venusironmaiden]

lmao ...loved this video! it makes you warm ..so sweet...

[1ShaSha86]

Do you have any other drink recipes that can be made asap? Thank You =)

Love your videos! I am doing the stuffed mushrooms for thanksgiving this year, I hope they come out good! =)

[Aworkm916]

Do you add the simple syrup after you stored it for thirty days?Also,Would a pantry work to store the Limoncello?

[PrincessDiana161]

@Aworkm916 yes after....and I store it in my pantry before adding the simple syrup 

[FreeTalkLive]

This shit turned out way too syrupy and tastes like poison.

[PrincessDiana161]

@FreeTalkLive then you screwed it up LOL

[heukolo]

love it. u two are so funny

[deedevinebrake]

What? With all the useless stuff you showed up you don't have a fine strainer. That is funny. just joking.

[rubyslippersparkle22]

You guys seem like an awesome couple. Too bad there aren't more like you guys!!

[headstock48]

Princess Diana, your voice is similar to Henry Hill's wife's in Goodfellas.

[mrsmaceri]

Recipe question! Hello- If I use to bottles of Everclear, how much simple syrup do u suggest I make ? Thanks

[aurayon]

Ok, I totally need to make this! 

[ShellyMimi]

you guys are awesome!

[kalburiumstormbreath]

What a great couple of people! You seem so happy!

[potomacpoint]

Aww, you two are so beautiful…you brought a tear to my eye. :*) I am making limoncello now, but I added the simple syrup already before it has had a chance to ferment. Did I ruin it? 

[PrincessDiana161]

@potomacpoint you could store it for as little as a week before adding the simple syrup....i like waiting longer. But I'm sure it will be ok :)

you can always try again

[ryansgonewayward1]

@potomacpoint I knew an old Italian guy who stored it for 2 weeks (15 days) he used the same directions....HOWEVER...he was hard core....he only used like 7 lemons. lol. the less lemons the stronger the taste of alcohol.

[potomacpoint]

Aww, you two are so beautiful…you brought a tear to my eye. :*)

[Gr3kstudio]

molto buono lo sto bevendo ora, bel video ciao tanti saluti:D:*

[EuKnxionCulturCa]

21 and over? psh, America ;)

[PrincessDiana161]

@EuKnxionCulturCa I know!!! at 18 we can vote and fight for your country...19 we're allowed to buy cigarettes and 21 we can go buck wild and make really bad decisions!!

[EuKnxionCulturCa]

@PrincessDiana161 True, I suppose the liberal policies on alcohol and minors in Europe have somehow taught teenagers to respect it. Im quite a bit younger than 21. If an 18 year old american can take a bullet in the army, vote, and make such important decisions, he should be able to occasionally indulge!! I will be making limoncello, but i swear to be responsible when consuming it!

[PrincessDiana161]

@EuKnxionCulturCa I hope you enjoy it sweetie....let me know how it turns out. (((hug)))

[stugats77]

ciao atutti from australia!! ciao ciao bella video mi piace limoncello! tanti bacci from sydney

[TICABELLA23]

You should try to do that but with coconut. :-) and see how it comes out. we put the coconut under the ground in my country. but we make a hole in the coconut and put the alcohol there but the alcohol we use is from there, but you can use this. i never try with this alcohol but you can.

[kevinscottyscot]

The bottle in the end that was in the freezer where did you get that bottle???

[PrincessDiana161]

@kevinscottyscot Pier 1

[retrohippie]

I stumbled upon your video after thinking too much about the lemon peels i've had soaking.

You guys crack me up a lot ;]

I'm finishing my limoncello up tomorrow morning. xD

[hecker1982]

Making my fourth batch since originally watching this video. Syrup is on the burner as I type!!

[sorz123]

lemoncello lol

[GATORFOOT166]

where did you get those bottles??? also what proof was your everclear?

[Kristfield]

making me want to visit Rome Italy soon!!!

[DigitalSL]

Your video was simply fabulous, my partner and I are going to try this out! Can't wait! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[RonMarsala23]

lol u guys are so funny

[TearfulShadows]

Your vids make me laugh so much. I wonder, have you tried to add other citrus along with the lemon?

[PrincessDiana161]

@TearfulShadows Thanks sweetie... actually I wanna make this with Orange peels next. Heard it's very tasty

[CUCHIE68]

PrincessDiana,

What do you do with you lemon peels after you strain them???

I enjoy your videos so much, I am going to attempt this beautiful fun venture.

Respectfully,

Maria

[PrincessDiana161]

@CUCHIE68 I throw them out sweetie

Glad you enjoyed it :)

(((HUG)))

[kaza47e]

how much sugar per bottle of alcohol

[anthonyandfreinds]

i will try this ...now who here will get me the alcohol

[x3purplecandy]

my friends last name is limoncello , hehe

[curlies06]

You guys are too cute!

[JayLeePoe]

Something about her style, accent, and behavior is all kinds of enjoyable. I'm a young guy and she is looking pretty good

[njoycrazy]

oh my god this was fun to watch.....u guys are so cute......i jus cant wait to make some of these and be readayyyyyyy for the summerrrrrrr.......

[CaptPoco]

haahaha "The crap that comes out of this guy's mouth" You guys are such a cute couple!

[eldadmi]

thank u for your video , I finally done making my Limoncello using mainly your recipe.

I used only a cup and a half of sugar...

anyway have u tried putting other fruits in the alcohol?

[mrmojo88888]

Love the stuff. I've made a big batch of Limoncello each year, but I use a good quality vodka with a neutral taste because the Everclear is way too strong for me. However, with vodka, it will freeze, so I have to be careful. And for God's sake, sip it! Don't toss it down!. I've found that either you love lemoncello, or you hate it. One comment was "smells like furniture polish... ppfffitttth!!! Tastes like furniture polish!!!" LOL

[softdrea]

yummmm!!!

[eldadmi]

princess I have 3 questions for u:

1) is it 12 lemons for 750 ml of Everclear?

2) what do u use for pilling the lemon zest ? should I use a ceramic peeler? a chef knife?

3)if I want 30% alcohol limoncello should I use more lemons?

[PastaBender]

1 yep, it's 10-12 lemons per 750 ml of Everclear.

2 I think it's easier to use a peeler ...

3 You adjust the 'proof' of your limoncello by the amount of water you add ... I'm a geek ... I made a spread sheet with proof versus cups of water!! For 60 proof (30%) you'd use about 7 cups of water with the 750 ml of Everclear ... I use 1/4 cup of sugar per cup of water so 1.75 cups of sugar ... 60 proof is what I make too!!

[PastaBender]

I ran out of space in the previous post but, If you really want the 'proof' formula (that's the cups of water needed for the 750ml bottle) it's 3.15*(195-proof)/proof ... 3.15 is the number of cups in 750ml and 195 is the proof of everclear ... ain't science wonderful!! lol

[letsgosox23]

Im making some tomorrow. TY

[eldadmi]

thank you very much for your fully detailed answers!

I'll use your 60 proof recipe !

[onesian]

see u in 30 days

[DbaBro1]

you should send me some as a gift lol

[knold20]

Queens

[eldadmi]

I enjoyed your video , it was clear and fun :->

now all that left to me is to make my own limoncello. thank u

[ionafrissbe09]

Hi, love the video. Ive used just Vodka not everclear and my lemon peels are infusing as we speak. We wanted it for Christmas here as this will be good after our xmas bbq. But, will the ordinary Vodka be as good as everclear ??

Thanx :-)

[PrincessDiana161]

Yeah the vodka will be just as good... have a great holiday

(((HUG)))

[PastaBender]

Well, and just my opinion, but Vodka gives it an odd taste ... Everclear is pretty much tasteless so you you just get the pure lemon and sugar and alcohol taste

[MASON091]

I wanna party with you guys you two are so funny!!!

[brainjesus]

that's an unholy amount of everclear

[BirdOfParadise777]

LOL! You are so funny:D

I saw thiis a year ago and just thought about it again! I am going to make this for some gifts this year. Thank you for making this video:)

BOP

[Ilovebeinglost]

We can only get 40% alcochol in Ontario Canada. After only 7 days I found it was very strong and decided to add the water and sugar. It still tastes very strong. I had to add an extra cup for sugar. I didn't get any pith in it so I have no ideas what went wrong. does anyone have any suggestions what I did wrong? Maybe it's our imported lemons that are no good.

[Luhalaa]

hahaha you two are so lovable!

[beaum1cah]

everclear is craazzzyyy it will freakin kill u

[beaum1cah]

wen uguys drink it u make it sound like it tastes terribly strong and nt good

[Yemoko]

everclear is crazzzyyyyyyyyy

[Billgotzpizza]

What type of sugar do you use? My simple syrup is not working out.

[PrincessDiana161]

just regular granulated sugar. Stir and simmer for about 15 minutes.

[milionarii]

That full of limoncello jar makes my mouth water. They don't sell it down here :(

[kkkkhaledddd]

in austria its spellt limoncello, and pronounced leemontshello

[s0undtribe]

cool video

[ImLuckyEddie]

Everyon calls it lemon cello but the correct name is limoncello

[labelmeashot]

Is it pronounced Lemon *cello or Lee *mon *cello?

[DrunkyMcLushLives]

it's pronounced the same way no matter how you decide to emphasize the syllables....

It's one word, so you should say it as one word anyway....

[StationaryTransient]

The proper pronunciation is Leemunchello.

Most people just say Lemonchello though.

[johnmac1221]

Where did you find the fancy round bottle?

[PrincessDiana161]

I got a lot of them at Pier one imports

[johnmac1221]

I really like the smaller round/flat style bottle you used in the video but can't seem to find it anywhere...I tried my local Michaels, Pier One, Old Time Pottery, Hobby Lobby, Homegoods, etc. with no luck...

[PrincessDiana161]

Pier one is where I had gotten them but last time I went I didn't see them anymore. If I see them again I will try to pick one up for you :)

[johnmac1221]

You are a doll : )...better yet if you find a place to buy them just send me a note and I will order them directly...I would like to get several as I am also making a large batch to give some as gifts...by the way...I just got back from a two week tour of Northern Italy (Florence, Tuscany, Sienna, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Venice) and had the time of my life. We had Lemoncello after several meals which is why I decided to try and make it at home and give some to friends & family...Thank you!

[ronaldvandijk100]

Italians would HATE this video! They know how to make real Limoncello!

[PrincessDiana161]

The recipe was given to me by someone in Italy when I visited there... not to bright are you?

[Minion79]

u are so funny i was laughin my ass off... keep em comin honey

[PrincessDiana161]

I think it's like the strongest they make

[Kugeliz]

You have to be 21 to be allowed to legally drink alcohol in the U.S.?

[MicheleCald]

I love your video- you remind me of myself in the kitchen - it is so great when you can have fun with the recipes-I try to put love and laughter into every dish I make!- keep the videos coming they are very entertaining-!

[ronladbreenio]

in italy they keep the limoncello in the bottom on the freezer with the shot glasses.

[CUCHIE68]

Hi,

I think you videos are awesome & love your recipes.

Thank you

[jamirohertje]

Hello,

Thank you for posting this! i'm drinking Italian Limoncello this very moment, but our bottle is almost empty and it's not sold overhere. Also the humour is great! I really enjoyed watching!!!

[NDferro]

You need better lemons, when i make limoncello after day 2 its bright like orange juice also if you use a micro plain you increase the surface area the alcohol can pull flavor and color from

[BlurbFish]

Hmm, what about replacing a few of the lemons with lime?

[xcgg]

How many cups of simple syrup do you put in?

[PrincessDiana161]

It's written in the description :)

[pmonag123]

what alcohol percent is it ? seems to be very strong haha.

[Jewlez007]

what proof of everclear did you use??

[PrincessDiana161]

I think it was 180 proof... strong! but you only drink this in small shots after a great meal :)

[kcamp295]

Loved your video. Personality + Tasty drink! :)

Have you tried Sorbetto al limone? Also really good...kind of a lemon slushy drink.

[PrincessDiana161]

That sounds really good... I'm gonna look for it.

Thanks!

[kcamp295]

No problem! It was my favorite drink there, limoncello was next. :)

[NaughtyLibrarian74]

I once saw a PBS program where this guy visited this lady in Italy and she made limoncello. I was disappointed they didn't show the exact ingrediant amounts. Thank you so much for posting this!! *grin* I'm sooo going to be making this for the next shindig I go to.

[syngen777]

Ciao Diana!  It has now been a month after peeling 25 lemons with (2) 750ml Everclear (150proof) What are your thoughts of using the lemon juice instead of water, or maybe partial? Make it even more lemony?!

[PrincessDiana161]

Trust me it's lemony enough... it will taste better with the simple syrup

[syngen777]

Mille Grazie! Bravo to you both, you're awesome! Tanti auguri!!

[DansMom]

What a cute couple.  Princess Diana...what else you got?

[lizzytrouble]

thats one way to get drunk

[richprior]

This stuff really is the bomb! Now if only I could find a recipe for amaro...

[fatdanios]

This would be great when you have a cold! :)

[MadBear1118]

You guys are so Italian.

It's awesome.

[alwayscookin1]

Hey Princess, I've made this too!!! Man it's good stuff, If you want you can make it to a cream version too. Just Boil Milk twice and both times, take the film of the top then just add to the lemoncello it's delicious

[PrincessDiana161]

I heard that version is very good... will try it on day :)

[sprtmkr1]

swabby, the alchol content does not let this freeze.......and wow it is good

[muktismom]

using a zest tool would also be good to peel the lemons with...

love your vids

[swabby66]

I don't understand freezing it.......would it spoil? When you want a shot, you have to defrost the bottle and then refreeze again?

[PrincessDiana161]

Freezing it makes it taste better and trust me with the alcohol content it will never freeze solid, just get a little thick

[swabby66]

Thankyou for your reply.....I understand what your saying......and I'm going to use your recipe.....thanks again!

[Litterio2009]

Gees you guys are great and crack me up. I love the passion you put in doing it. Love yas....

[Lysystra]

Catholics dont have a stigma against alcohol. Only protestants (baptists etc...). Monks invented cordials. Proof: Benedictine, Chartreuse, Cognac, Champagne, Wine...etc... do some research on your own.

[PrincessDiana161]

I never said they did

[brycewurts]

a few things for you and your future limoncello.

1. If you can find a lemon zester (not the one that grates, it pretty much peels the zest right off in like 4 lines) it helps out alot.

2. Coffee Filters work wonders for the filtering process. it takes a little longer, but works great.

3. after you addthe syrup, watt 1 more month, sugar adds to the fermentation process.

FYI, the white stuff makes it bitter, that is why you want to steer clear of it.

[mamiloca19]

wow thats very helpfuk thanx

ima do the whole extra month now =)

[seanrcollins]

love the video!! quick question: how much simple syrup mix did you add? i want to make sure I get that right!

[PrincessDiana161]

If you click more info on the description of the video you'll find the recipe there... Glad you liked it :)

[darmack2007]

Hi Princess, really nice job. But it's not real italian Limoncello. ;-) kisses from Rome Italy

[PrincessDiana161]

Interesting...because I got the recipe from a priest at the Vatican

[crileyhome]

You got this from a Priest at the Vatican! Oh well, I guess I was thinking religious ones did not drink alcohol.

LOL!

[PrincessDiana161]

Some drink...some even cuss... They're human after all :)

[aaadianaaaa]

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

[dustermaker]

I just made some yesterday, and it is AMAZING. Great video by the way.

[casiscosisto]

After You put sugar and water...let it rest another 15 days before drinking...!!! Bye Bye Great Video

[sapodotroposo]

"Oh i´d like to put this cork in you" hahahah :-D

Thankyou guys, great recipe, I have about 3 kg of dumpsterdived limes to make something of, this is just perfect!

Only thing that seems difficult is to let it rest one month!

[Roscojo]

Great fun video.

These folks are a riot.

Great recipe too.

[gsueagle8282]

I just tried Limoncello for the first time last week and it's simply amazing. You two are sweet and funny I wish I was getting a gift from you guys this year! Well, I'm going to try and make this myself tomorrow. Have you tried adding raspberries to the recipe? I heard that was good.

[PrincessDiana161]

Never tried that but it does sound good

[quisterenal]

Wonderful video, I just need the quantity of sugar-water or syrup you pour per bottle of limon zest essented alcohol-. a liter of syrup or I leave it to my taste? maybe the same mls. of syrup as alcohol? thanx... ciao...

[PrincessDiana161]

It's in the video description

[cyanide540]

does making limoncello with zest differ in taste or appearance than making it with peels from the lemons? ive read several recipes and some call for just zest from using a micro plane or zester and some call for peels from using a paring knife. this is my first time making it and im looking for the best and most tasteful way of making it.
