Options for making Limoncello at home there is a great variety. On our website there are only three shown and each of them is good in its own way. But I wanted in one recipe to combine several that are important to me: as alcohol use only vodka, not alcohol (where can you get it?), to exclude long-term infusion, which stretched for weeks, so it was not very hard, but at the same time and not stewed and not bother with buying lemons certain cultivars. Through trial and error, brought his recipe that completely satisfies me as to taste, and material and physical costs. Of course, I do not claim that this is "the Limoncello", and therefore gave the name "a La" and called not liquor, and tincture, but I can promise that it is simple and delicious.
