When life gives you limes, make Lime~a~Cello II

March 23, 2019 By splendid Leave a Comment

Here is the second Lime~a~cello recipe made from the limes from my Persian Lime Tree.

This makes a digestif that is similar to the traditional Lemoncello one finds in Italy. It is a thicker, smoother, sweeter tasting beverage than the first lime~a~cello recipe I published. This is adapted from a recipe from Giada de Laurenti The main difference is that I reduced the amount of sugar, and I still think the drink is plenty sweet.

LIME~A~CELLO II

Ingredients/Supplies

10 limes, rinsed

1 (750-ml) bottle good quality vodka

3 1/2 cups water

2 cups sugar

A large jar with a tight seal

Remove the peel from the limes with a sharp knife or microplane zester. Place the lime peels in a large jar with a tight seal. Pour the vodka over the peels and seal the lid. Allow the lime peels to rest in the vodka for 4-5 days at room temperature.

After 4-5 days you’re ready to add the simple syrup. Here’s how to make it: Stir the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely then add the simple syrup over the vodka mixture. Reseal the lid and let the mixture sit at room temperature overnight. Strain the lime~a~cello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the lime~a~cello to bottles. Seal the bottles and store them in the freezer.

Enjoy! To see the other recipe I used that creates a less sweet digestif with more lime zest flavor click on Lime~a~Cello I.
