Limoncello Recipe

JUMP TO RECIPE

Get ready, because I'm going to show you how to make an authentic Italian limoncello recipe! Made with 3 ingredients and simple steps, it's so easy to make and will transport you straight to Italy with every sip!

Two glasses with a bottle

If you love limoncello as much as I do, then you're in for a treat! I've always loved it since my first trip to Italy years ago. However, since being here for a year and tasting homemade limoncello, theres noting like it. When I first tried my friend Cinzia’s homemade limoncello recipe, I loved it even more! Its refreshing and bright and tastes so much better than store bought. Here she has taught me her Italian family recipe, and I can't wait for you to make it too! 

Limoncello is an Italian liqueur made from infused lemon peels, alcohol and sugar. It's lemony, citrusy with a lovely sweet tang. Commonly served cold in a small shot glass in Italy to finish off a great meal. I mean there's nothing better than a shot of icy cold limoncello after an Italian feast! It's zesty and fresh, not to mention aids in digestion being a digestif.

You can even make cocktails or desserts with it. My absolute favorite is a limoncello spritz, which is like a cheeky lemonade that will take you to the Amalfi coast! I've also put a twist on the classic tiramisu using limoncello to make a fresh lemony tiramisu.

The best part about making your own limoncello is that it's homemade! Making anything homemade is so much better right?? In this recipe, you need 3 simple ingredients and follow my simple steps, so anyone can make it! It's also cheaper than store bought and better for you as it doesn't include any preservatives. The hardest part is actually waiting for the lemon peels to infuse hehe!

Some more authentic Italian recipes to make at home are my pasta alla norma, minestrone soup and easy focaccia recipe.

What is Limoncello?

Limoncello is a lovely lemon liqueur originating from southern Italy, from Campania region being Naples, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. It’s also very popular and made in Sicily and Sardinia to name a few, as the warmer parts of Italy are known for the best lemons. 

Its delicious, fresh, acidic and sweet all at the same time! Traditionally enjoyed chilled as a digestif to aid digestion, in a small shot glass and sipped. 

Limoncello is made by infusing lemon peels in high-proof alcohol or grain alcohol then mixed with a simple syrup resulting in a sweet and intensely lemon-flavored beverage. You can also see limoncello used to make desserts or cocktails such as a limoncello spritz which is a very popular drink on the Amalfi coast and sorrento.

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Fresh lemons - its important to use organic lemons to avoid any pesticides or wax coatings, since we're using the lemon zest. The fresher the better, so if you have a lemon tree or have any neighbors with one, get picking 😊

    Standard lemons are best for the classic taste, meyer lemons have a slightly sweeter flavor and less acidic. As Italians will say, Italy has the best lemons, so the limoncello here tastes the best
  • Alcohol (95%). High-proof alcohol is required to make limoncello. Everclear is preferably used rather than vodka, but any grain alcohol at 95% will work
  • Sugar is dissolved in water to make a simple syrup. This sweetens the limoncello and balances the lemon flavor to make it fresh and light, without being too bitter or strong

How to make Limoncello Recipe

Make limoncello just like an Italian. After tasting limoncello on my travels across southern Italy, I'm excited to share this authentic recipe. Follow my simple steps below (note quantities are in the recipe card below)

Lemon rinds and peeler on a plate

Peel skins of washed lemons using a peeler (ensure to only peel the yellow part, as pictured)

Lemon rinds in alcohol

Put lemon peels in a large glass jar and pour in alcohol. Close lid, put in a dark place and let it infuse for 25 days

Alcohol mixture drained in a mesh with rinds

Strain the lemon liqueur and peels with a mesh strainer/colander with a large bowl underneath

Water simmering in a large pot

Add water in a large pot over a stove top on medium heat. When small bubbles start to appear (not boiling) add in the sugar

Mixing wooden spoon with sugar and water in a pot

Stir with a wooden spoon to melt the sugar and turn heat off after 2 minutes

Continuously stir for 3-5 minutes to ensure all of the sugar dissolves

Tips and Tricks

  1. Ensure to use a high-proof alcohol at 95% such as Everclear. If using a lower proof alcohol, the end result will be different and also too sweet
  2. Carefully zest the lemons with a vegetable peeler, making sure to avoid the white part under the yellow zest. A small amount of white pith is ok, but too much of it will give you a bitter tasting limoncello
  3. Patience is key, so don't rush the infusion process! Letting the lemon peels infuse in the alcohol allows for the maximum extraction of flavor. Making sure its in a dark cool place, like in the back of a cupboard for example
  4. When making the simple syrup ensure the water does not come to a boil. Light bubbles, even before it simmers is the perfect time
  5. Add the infused alcohol when the syrup is still warm, as it will give you a lovely yellow limoncello. If the syrup is too cold, the color will be lighter
  6. Serve cold for best taste! Limoncello is traditionally served ice cold, its even better with chilled glasses. Some like to keep it in the freezer! 

Storage Instructions

  • Store limoncello in a tightly sealed bottle in the fridge for up to a year or two.
  • Given the high percentage of alcohol and sugar, it preserves the limoncello from going bad. In saying that, if it isn't stored correctly or left in a hot place, it can spoil or not taste as good. You may notice color change or may taste very bitter 
  • You can also store limoncello in the freezer and it wont freeze!

      This may be a silly question but when all is finished and you bottle them up, do you put them in the fridge if you are gifting them say a month or two later? And take them out before then? Or would you leave them out until then? I bought 8 oz swing top rubber seal bottles from amazon for this. Thanks!

        I keep mine in the freezer at all times. Best when it’s right out of the freezer in my opinion. Frankly, it lasts for years without losing its taste.

            I bottled your recipe today, so easy to make. Unfortunately I must have mis-weighed my sugar as it is more sweet than lemon. It still tastes nice but doesn't have that lemony kick.
            I will be trying it again though, ust not gifting it this time.

      They definitely don't go to waste. You can use the juice in other recipes such as salad dressings, cakes and desserts, lemon pasta, potatoes, lemonade and many more. I have some recipes on my blog for some ideas. If you don't think you will use them up in time, cut them into quarters and place in a zip lock bag in the freezer then defrost when ready, I did this last time and they were a life saver!

      I recommend scaling it down the first time you make it. We measured the sugar with a kitchen scale and found it too sweet. Also, it froze solid which shouldn't happen. Our mistake may have been using 90% vodka, but until we try again, a long time from now, I can't say if that's the only variable we would change. We'll find a way to use this in cocktails until it's gone. Just sayin' - make sure it's to your liking before you make the big batch!

        February 25, 2025 at 8:57 pm

        Hi Tee-lis, oh no it should have a slightly sweet flavor but shouldn't be too sweet, however if using a lower proof alcohol this will affect the end taste as the alcohol flavor is less strong. This could also be why it has frozen as the sugar and alcohol levels aren't correct. Hopefully you can try it again with the correct alcohol. One of my favorite cocktails to make is my limoncello spritz which you should try 🙂

      Oh no, waxed lemons aren't recommended as they have a chemical coating which will also affect the lemon flavor from the peel. I have seen that they can be cleaned but I have not tried this myself and always recommend fresh Bio lemons

      May 26, 2025 at 7:44 pm

      It's best to use a higher proof alcohol as 75% isn't as strong in taste, so the flavor won't be the same at the end and it could turn out too sweet

    Are you sure 2 pounds of sugar is accurate? That’s more sugar than water: 4 1/2 cups to 4 cups water. Most recipes I’ve seen use less sugar than water. Just wondering because some comments have said it was way too sweet and maybe your European to US measurements are off a bit??

    Reply
    • Ayeh Manfre says

      June 02, 2025 at 6:14 pm

      Hi Shannon, the sugar amount is correct for the correct level of alcohol proof at 95%, preferably something like Everclear as opposed to vodka which is lighter. If a lower alcohol level is used, this will alter the end taste and will end up sweeter which is what was someone had used in that comment. Hope this helps 🙂

    Not syrupy like other limoncello I’ve tasted
    Thank you

    So delicious and easy! Mine came out quite clear as opposed to cloudy - tastes great though

      So happy you loved it Ellen! The end result is sometimes more/less cloudy due to the oils in the lemons and also the type of alcohol used, but it's preservative free which make it more clear than the ones in the stores too 🙂

    I made this Limoncello easily and was amazed at the intense lemon flavor! It's so fun to find cool bottles for it. Which also enhances gift giving. I will be making more for Christmas gifts!
