    I'm starting my batch today! Thank you so much to Nonna for the video and recipe! I have a question. We cannot get Everclear (grain alcohol/pure alcohol) here in California. The best I can do is Vodka. I know it won't taste the same. My question is this: Do I adjust the amount of water and sugar since I am using 80 proof vodka? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I made this recipe using my neighbor's home grown organic meyer lemons and Everclear. I strained my batch three times with a mesh strainer and cheesecloth. Everything came out clear and beautiful so I bottled in clean swingcap bottles. After a couple of weeks in the bottles, I noticed small floating particles, but no cloudiness, and they seem to keep accumulating. Is my limoncello ruined? Should I strain it again and re-bottle? I wanted to gift these so please let me know what I did wrong. Thank you!

    Going to try this recipe this weekend looks delicious!! One question though… the cup if water added to the lemons… Is it from the mix of water and sugar or a separate cup of water?

    OMG Nonna…that looks delicious….I need to try this, lemons are my favorite fruit. I will bring some to you & have a cheer although it probably won't taste as good as yours! Can this be made with oranges too?Thank you for all your excellent recipes!

    Recipe says 1 liter. Is that a liter bottle or a 750ml fifth bottle you get at the store?
    The reason I ask is I am having to use the 750ml bottles so to make it easier and use 2 bottles (1.5liter) I'm adding 1/2 to all ingredients. So that's 1050g sugar (700X1.5=1050), 2.25 liter water (1.5×1.5=2.25) for two 750ml (1.5L) of everclear. But can only get 151 here. Peels are in the grain alcohol now. I used 15 lemons (9×1.5=14.5). Hope I did my math right.
