Do not add water just simple syrup-about 1 cup per 1/2 gallon vodka. The simple syrup is added per taste so start with a smalll amount and add more if needbe.

What nice shades of green in your pictures! Are they shot at your home? I'm a curious guy sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I'm only puzzled by the quantity of sugar. 700 grams aren't too much? What if one added only 300? You know I'm obsessed by Limoncello not becoming a dolcetto, which I dislike, and you too, you told me. As I said replying to your comment at my blog, I have two posts in mind I cannot postpone: the third one will be dedicated to your Limoncello. <BR/><BR/>Un abbraccioMan of Romahttp://manofroma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-19049848703066486422009-04-05T09:13:00.000+02:002009-04-05T09:13:00.000+02:00Chuck - And now in Sorrento, I'll be stashing up o...Chuck - And now in Sorrento, I'll be stashing up on the best lemons ever.<BR/><BR/>Natalie - Salute, sister!<BR/><BR/>Erin - Tee hee...
