Pure alcohol is the key ingredient for limoncello, a bright yellow Italian liqueur. Lemons are the star of this recipe and give it its unique lemony flavour.
To make your limoncello, with tips and advice include selecting pure grain alcohol  or vodka with 
high proof, choosing fresh lemons for the best flavour and following a tried-and-true recipe.

Suggestions for variations on the classic limoncello recipe include adding herbs or spices like mint or rosemary to give it an extra kick.
For a pure lemon flavour, pure alcohol for limoncello is ideal. The strong lemon flavour comes from using two lemons per 750
millilitres of vodka or other clear alcohol.

The aroma is amazing and the taste of fresh-squeezed lemon juice makes it a popular ingredient in various cocktails.

It can also serve as a palate cleanser between courses at dinner parties, adding an
extra element to the overall experience. Additionally, alcohol to make limoncello has the nostalgia factor; it reminds people of the summer
holidays spent in Italy, where it originated.
The best limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur, made from a simple syrup of sugar and water infused with fresh lemon zest and vodka.
Fresh citrus fruit peels are also added for an intense flavour and aroma. The oil essence of the peels adds to the alcoholic
note, but it’s still sweet when served cold.

This liqueur is often served after dinner as a digestif or poured over ice cream or lemon sorbet for dessert. It can also be used in other dishes such as fresh fruit salads or cocktails to add a hint of
sweetness and a unique citrusy flavour.
Pure alcohol is the best choice for making limoncello. It is usually 190-proof, which is higher than some other types of alcohol such as vodka, yet still has a good level of alcohol content that will make limoncello.

To make it correctly, one should first mix together equal parts water and sugar until dissolved. Then add the 190 proof 
alcohol infused with lemon and shake to combine. Finally, place it in a freezer for several hours or overnight until it reaches the desired
consistency. This depends on the alcohol content. The higher the alcohol, the colder it has to be to thicken.

The best alcohol to make Limoncello is available in a 190-proof alcohol, also known as Everclear, in a 200 ml bottle. This pure 190
proof is an excellent choice for making Limoncello. It's easy to use - just mix 200 ml of this spirit with simple syrup and
lemon-infused alcohol in a container of your choice and shake it well.

The result will be an exquisite Limoncello liqueur that you can serve neat or on the rocks as desired. You can even use different fruit infusions like oranges or limes for a unique
flavour profile. The only limit is your imagination!

To store the Limoncello, transfer it into a glass bottle and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!

However, it's important to note that some Limoncello brands may have a higher or lower alcohol content, so it's always a good idea to check the label or consult with the manufacturer to be sure.
