Limonchello



This christmas I decided to make Limonchello to give as presents to family and friends. For those of you who don't know, limonchello is an alcoholic dessert which is to be chilled and sipped. We made a 3 batches of this recipe (yes...which meant I had to sit there and carefully zest 60 lemons total). My sister was visiting santa barbara and was able to help me cook and bottle all 16 of them. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
20 lemons (secret ingredient: Meyer lemons)
2 bottles (750 ml) 100-proof vodka
4 cups sugar
5 cups water
