jacketwatch Posted August 22, 2008 #76 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Boy, would I love to sample that. Let us know how it turns out - OK? :) I will report it when its done. Hopefully it'll be good news. Its a simple recipe and I hope it goes well. If so it can be varied using say flavored vodkas, etc. Larry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandytoes Posted August 22, 2008 Author #77 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Everyone keeps mentioning that they put it in the freezer. I keep mine in the refrigerator.....what am I doing wrong? Anne Limoncello is usually stored in the freezer. Tastes better when it's served icy cold in tiny glasses. We keep it in the freezer too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeBeGone Posted August 22, 2008 #79 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Cook your favorite pasta. (I use angel hair) Saute fresh shrimp in butter and a little garlic. When shrimp are done (4 min), add 1 cup Limoncello (more or less to taste and the number of people) Mix and toss into the pasta. With a salad, white wine, and garlic bread, you have a Limoncello Pasta meal fit for a queen. I got this "recipe" from Generoso, my favorite maitre d'.

Treven Posted August 22, 2008 #82 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I wonder if Limoncello is what's used when one gets a Lemon Drop Martini. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifCruiser1 Posted August 24, 2008 #85 Share Posted August 24, 2008 On Diamond it was creamy and it was free refills- had 4:D. I went to Trader Jo's to get the creamy and was told they haven't been able to get it the last 4 months. So does anyone know how to make the creamy kind? :D Karon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quincytoo Posted August 31, 2008 #88 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The drink costs $4.95 and you can keep the glass.A refill would be $3.95. (We were given a refill for free) The next night I thought I could get a refill for $3.95. So I brought the glasses, wrapped up in my purse, to the dining room. When the waiter came over and asked if we wanted Limoncello I told him that I brought my glass. :o He said, No, it's only a one shot :rolleyes: deal. You need to buy the drink and glass daily if you want Limoncello. I now have a collection of glasses.....:p..:D We have been on two Princess cruises and now have four Limoncello glasses, soon to be at least 8 on our CB cruise this Oct :rolleyes: Also have a bottle in the freezer!!! What can I say??? It is GREAT for settling an upset stomach after a huge heavy meal, actually the chips and dip I just munched on isn't settling well....BRB :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketwatch Posted August 31, 2008 #89 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi guys. Well I just made the stuff after marinating the zest in vodka for 13 days. I must say it came out much to my liking. I don't think I'll be buying it anymore I used the zest aof about 9 lemons, let it soak in 750 cc of Smirnoff 80 proof vodka, then boiled around 800 cc water with about 200 gm. sugar until dissolved, then slowly added the strained alcohol mixture. Once all of it was in the sugar H2O mixture just let it simmer for maybe 5 mins. and remove from the heat. Then I let it cool. The taste now is really good and I can't wait to try it cold. I'm happy with the results. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbdave Posted September 1, 2008 #93 Share Posted September 1, 2008 After reading this thread and not having ever tried Limoncello before, I went and bought some, popped it in the freezer and waited for it to get very cold. I poured me a bit, tried it and unfortunately hated it. :eek: I'm apparently not tough enough for Limoncello! :confused: I have an almost full bottle of highly recommended Limoncello chilled in the freezer if anyone that likes it shows up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after a really heavy meal. I have had it mixed into Lemon Drop Martinins and it was very good. I make a *adult* lemonade...vodka, ginger-ale, fresh lemon juice, very tart and refreshing, next time I am going to add Limoncello to it too:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a "creamed" version, I add Eagle Brand to my limoncello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way it came out and honestly for me its a summer time libation anyway so I don't use it that much. Cheers, Larry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
