Note
  • The time needed to make Limoncello depends on the lemon oil content and liquor proof.
  • Unless you are very familiar with your lemon variety, you have to be a detective and taste-test every few days after a week has passed. 
  • A lower-proof vodka will require an additional week or more to reach maximum lemon flavour.
  • Don't worry about how long your bottle sits out infusing; the high-proof liquor will prevent mold from growing. However, should you see any signs of discoloration or something fuzzy growing, discard, sanitise your bottles, and start over.
