We made some (not with everclear, with decent vodka) this year in time for Easter and served it along with a dessert that we topped with tiny cutouts of limoncello gelatine (jello shots rule!). Has anybody here ever moved into a place with limoncello ready and waiting in the freezer? My everclear limoncello friend swears it's some sort of American tradition to leave your limoncello in the freezer for the next people who live in your place. She says it's happened to her three times and she's left some three times, so her theory works for her. I have a friend who makes limoncello with everclear.

I remember an Italian friend of mine was going to make his own Limoncello and he complained about not finding any good 100 proof vodka. I'm no purist either, but I figure with all those yummy lemons and sugar, it can only make a so-so vodka even better. Thanks Caroline!

We used Smirnoff which worked just fine. Last year, we used 80 proof and it did get icy and wasn't as good. So, I would say anything 100 proof you can find that isn't the bottom of the barrel. I am not a vodka purest. Have fun - you will love it! To be honest, the selection of 100 proof vodka is not great. We used Smirnoff which worked just fine.
