Hooch

Diana and Walter's Limoncello recipe:
20 lemons just the skins, use a vegetable peeler, no white parts of the skin!
Soak in a large glass vessel with 1 bottle Vodka and 1 bottle Everclear (if you want you can just use 2 bottles of Vodka) until the lemon skins turn white like potato chips. Make sure you shake/swirl the vessel daily.This may take up to 2 weeks to a month...don't rush it. When it is done take out the large lemon peels out with a slotted spoon and let strain, then strain the remainder, through coffee filters make sure to get all the goodness from the strainer, then add 4 cups simple syrup and 4 cups water and let it rest for about 1-2 months...patience, patience. Bottle it up and enjoy! We get cool bottles from the Container Store or on line and give as gifts.
