I have finished one of the two bottles though and am sure I would use another in the summer so this was worth it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809676214189088361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-82166963512435283962012-12-28T20:28:10.586-06:002012-12-28T20:28:10.586-06:00I'm going to try this next year-- I love limon...I'm going to try this next year-- I love limoncello! I'm wondering if maybe using a smoother vodka would help if you don't have time to let it mellow more?? What brand did you use? Something like Belvedere (they make a 100proof if that's necessary), or even Russian Standard might be smoother. My in-laws have brought vodka back from Russia that tastes like nothing-- like water that warms your chest. It's amazing and dangerous.

It will mellow out dramatically. It will go from a mixer to a really smooth apertif.StuccoHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608839109697874015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-27417873554655902102012-12-13T09:56:30.112-06:002012-12-13T09:56:30.112-06:00Josh, I can't believe that cutting the steepin...Josh, I can't believe that cutting the steeping time a little short would be a problem. The lemon flavor in mine is very good and I think it would have been just as good at two or three weeks.

I'm using grain alcohol (151 proof) and I zested the lemons pith-free, though my steeping time will need to be cut short in order to have the product ready to gift by Christmas. Fingers crossed!
