If you read my previous post about making homemade Limoncello , I am here to give you an update. After 23 days of resting in a cool place, out of the sun, my husband and I did a taste test of the vibrantly yellow, clear liquid. Since you need only 1-2 oz. to taste, we have PLENTY left over for apres dinner sipping on hot summer nights.
The taste test results:
The limoncello remained very clear, with a nice strong yellow colour. Upon opening the bottle, a lovely, refreshing citrus (yet very alcohol smelling) scent wafted out. At first taste, it a had a very smooth flavour which was thoroughly infused with the lemon without being overwhelmingly citrus. However, it is upon swallowing you really get the full flavour of the liqueur. There is a lovely warming sensation that follows the taste, as well as a residual essence of lemon left in your mouth (when I talk of the lemon taste, its more of a spiced, mellow lemon flavour which is really lovely, rather than a pucker-worthy citrus taste). While the liqueur is essentially pure vodka, it has an over all sweet flavour which, I am told, gets sweeter the longer you leave it "curing".
All in all, I am VERY happy with the way the Limoncello worked out; I would DEFINITELY recommend that you try making this at home, as the taste is DEFINITELY worth the work, and the wait!
Alright, now I want to make it! Too bad it won't be ready until early September! But hey, Fall is a good time too!
ReplyDeleteAfter tasting it after only 23 days, I think we could start enjoying it anytime now! So really I think you could have a batch ready in about 2 months (ready for August). But truthfully I think its good ANY time of the year! ;)
