Homemade limoncello? Have you?

Sounds like a fun experiment; I’ll look forward to the results.

Meanwhile, here’s more ancient and merely old discussion of homemade limoncello:

Limoncello-making advice needed

I saw a recipe in a Martha Stewart holiday gifts magazine for making Limoncello, and I want to try making some. I have the lemons, my Microplane zester, and a big glass jar. Since sometimes the recipes in Martha’s magazines are just a bit wonky, I looked up more recipes on Google to see how on-track this one was, and now I have questions for the people on here who have made this before.

So I’ve mixed the limoncello and tequila and floated a little cointreau on top; quite yummy. My limoncello is stored in the freezer, and last night, I sipped at a liqueur glass-full of it as I fixed dinner, also quite good. Any other ideas…
