Our friend and patron Michael Trimblett, a.k.a. The Cyber Informer was kind enough to send us this lovely video wishing us congratulations on cracking #200!
Today we have a real treat. Our friend and yours Justin B, a.k.a. Bedigunz on Discord was kind enough to send us some Limoncello he made this holiday season. Limoncello is a lemon liqueur primarily made in Southern Italy. Justin sent us 3 jars labeled “Not Urine.” I plan to try making this myself, but today we’re going to be trying his recipe because we really wanted to do it on the show and what could be more special than lucky #200?
I should preface this by saying that it is a sous vide method. For those who don’t know, which is probably no one, sous vide is a hot water bath method of cooking where an immersion circulator keeps the water at a constant, low temperature for an extended period of time. I have one. It’s the tits. I love it. It is exclusively the method I use to make pickles now. But that’s just potatoes, Smitty, here comes the gravy:
LIMONCELLO
Bedigunz put his recipe on the Cocktails channel here on the Discord on December 17th.
· 10 lemons
· 1L (1 qt) of Everclear (95% grain alcohol)
o Fun fact, that’s almost the most alcoholic something can be outside of lab conditions, because past that point alcohol becomes hydroscopic, meaning it starts pulling water out of the atmosphere – I just like being able to use the term “hydroscopic,” and it’s my segment, so I’m afraid we all have to suffer for my own indulgence
o Anyway, 1L of Everclear
· 2L of simple syrup
o Equal parts by weight sugar and water
· Peel the lemons so you only get the yellow part (white part will make it bitter so avoid it).
· Add lemon peel and Everclear to two Mason jars.
· Close them and shake them up
· Set the sous vide to 57 Celsius (134.6 F)
· Put jars in for 3 hours.
· Take jars out, shake, let them cool, and then strain liquid through a coffee filter or cheese cloth.
· Mix with 2L of simple syrup.
· Chill and drink straight.
This stuff is delicious ice cold and straight, especially on a hot summer day. If it’s your druthers you can also mix it with sparkling water.
