-
- the color left the zest and colored the vodka
-
- limoncello between strains 2 and 3 (gold filter versus gold filter + paper filter). huge difference.
-
- straining in progress. i also took video but i won’t bore you with the tinkling sound and roxette playing in the background
-
- limoncello fully strained. it has a beautiful clarity despite it being the color of pee.
-
- adding the sugar made it a bit cloudier as expected. per the cocktail tasters, my 3 cup water and 2 cup sugar simple syrup was the perfect balance of sugar and burn. apparently, it was very smooth and put the store bought limoncello to shame. *awesome*
it’s completely ironic that the person who doesn’t drink ends up making the alcoholic beverages (egg nog!) but i’m certainly the right person for the job because it ends up tasting great.
