Limoncello
Limoncello is a lemon-peel liqueur, with Bottega’s Sorrento version illustrating an infusion of yellow peel followed by sugar.
- Citrus
- Lemon
- Part used in Bottega’s example
- Yellow peel, without white pith
The peel, not the white pith
Bottega’s technical sheet describes infusing the yellow peel in alcohol for about 30 days, then filtering and adding sugar. This is one producer’s method, not a fixed recipe for every limoncello.
