I made my first batch of Crema di Limoncello a month ago...actually 3 batches. The recipe I found called for 4 cups of sugar...which I replaced with Splenda. It seemed to work fine. Also used a mixture of half and half with a can of evaporated milk. I thought there might be a lack of "body" in the finished product by not using a sugar syrup. Tastes wonderful but oh so fatening. Today I am going to begin Crema di Lime-cello only this time I will use skim milk,skimmed evaporated milk, and the Splenda. Oh, and I think playing some Italian opera while peeling really gets the citrus in the mood! Great advice from everyone. Thank you!

I'm using a bottle of 750ml Everclear 75.5% alcohol as is available here in LA. If i want the final product to have 40% alcohol content, which I do. I find that I need to add 6.5dl (650ml) sugar-water mix...so seeing suggestions of 5 CUPS and 3 CUPS of water and sugar seems crazy to me...that would make it far too sweet and far too "weak"... 75.5% of 750ml is 566ml. – We want those 566ml to be 40% of the total mix. That makes the requirement for added water, sugar to be about 650ml. – 1 cup = 2.4 dl (240ml) – ...so less that 3 cups total (sugar water) mix, in my opinion...

I used peels from 20 lemons a 1.5 of grain and double batch of simple syrup. i used organic sugar which turned the mixture to a brownish color until it was strained. 6 weeks of resting then added simple syrup and rest of alcohol and let sit for another 6 weeks. it needs to be turned down a notch. Batch 2 from 100 proof vodka turned out better and batch 3 with 80 proof vodka has the best flavoring of them all. The only downfall is that it freezes in the freezer. Batches 5, 6 and 7 have begun today with 80 proof vodka. Any tips? Just completed a batch with grain used a lemon simple syrup concoction it is lemony, syrupy and has an after burn from the grain.

Basically, we can't get vodka at the same hi-test proof that works really the best, which is 190-proof grain alcohol. Check your liquor store for that. If you can't get the grain alcohol, go ahead and try it with the vodka. It's just that my aunt, who gave me the recipe, told me vodka doesn't' work "quite as well" as the grain alcohol. I think you plan of using even more lemon peel is a good one. After that, if I were doing it, I'd try it using the same amount of sugar/water you'll eventually be mixing it with (as per the recipe.) Experiment a bit with how much of the sugar water you add? I'm very curious to know how your batch comes out - let me know! Sponge Hi RC,

I am using 1 liter 90 proof vodka. Is that okay? or should I get a higher proof vodka? I used the peels of 15 lemons. I am just in my first week and can't wait for it! LOL! Hi!
