The most time consuming part of this recipe is watching it drip slowly through the coffee filter! Smells super lemony and sweet. Tastes like limoncello. I thought it would be more like a lemon-flavored vodka, but with the sugar it is more like limoncello. It turns very thick when put in the freezer, but tastes best super cold. Makes for a very thick, potent shot. I let mine sit in a cool, dark spot for 12 days. I think this was plenty of time for the flavors to meld. I enjoyed it....but too potent to be consumed in large quantities! I'll mix over ice with water to make a spiked lemonade for these horribly hot days we are having right now. Thanks for sharing!

I made a large batch of this to give as gifts a couple years ago, since our family was doing an italian themed dinner and this drink is also known in italy as limoncello. It was not good. Smelled like lemon pledge and of course thats all I could think about as we sipped it. I ended up throwing the whole batch out. Did not give stars since it may have just been our taste preferances. A lot of people seem to like it.
