Made some creme de mure the other day. It's tasty shit.

That's not a liqueur, mate. That's brewing.

Hi fren. I’m making limoncello right now based off this recipe: https://www.cookingitalianwithjoe.com/authentic-limoncello

I had the peels soaking for about 3 weeks and I filtered and added the honey a few days ago - looking to get it in the freezer in a few days so it’s ready for Christmas.

I tried it yesterday and it’s super fucking strong, will freezing it help the taste? I like everclear but my family coming over is not al/ck/

Not a good recipe. The reason most people will add a sugar syrup instead of sugar to limoncelloade with everclear is to bring the alcohol to under the 45% mark. I cannot fathom a world where limoncello would be made with honey. Italian Joe is about as authentic as a Domino's

why are you waiting a whole month? It only takes a week tops.

you can use hooch to make sangrias

I just mix vodka with peach schnapps

Honey is better than processed sugar, loser.

>>15259740
Limoncello is easy and delicious. Vodka, lemon peels, and simple syrup.

>processed sugar
wait until you find out that honey is processed nectar

>>15259915
100 proof vodka works better than Everclear.

>>15261030
fermentation cultures can digest refined sugar much more easily than any other carbohydrate source, honey is fine but can be less consistent especially if it has been p*sturized (god forbid)

>>15259740
Yeah. It's balls easy in the winter to make a few gallons of apple wine and then freeze it in water jugs to distill the alcohol out.

Filet mignon is better than ground beef but I don't want that as a burger patty. It's not about which is better, it's about which is more appropriate for the item you're making.

Hey, OP, be really careful with liqueur made with citrus peels. In fact, I’d say don’t do it. A few years ago, I made orange liqueur with local citrus fruit peels. Unfortunately, several guests felt uneasy and felt hallucinogenic symptoms. Be careful and do your research.

Been using a sous vide to flavor vodka for awhile. Pretty much any fruit/vegetable /aromatic/ in a quart jar for 3 hours @180f. Typically use 1 cup fresh ingredients vs half a cup of aromatics. Give it a shake every hour or so while it's cooking.

My favorite is black peppercorns in vodka for bloody marys. I love black pepper and it's makes the best bloody mary.

fuck man that sounds delicious. ever have a bloody bull? I would imagine it tasting really good in a sous vide

probably the one that did not have sugar cane in Italy as an ingredient for millennia

>careful you can have hallucinations!!1!!
are you TRYING to convince me to do this?

I mix some moonshine with black pepper. Taste like a baked potato if I do it right.

>>15263965
limoncello has only been a thing for like 100 years

>>15262617
