Use organic lemons for the best flavor and to avoid any potential pesticide residue in the zest. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Taste the milk mixture before cooling and add more sugar if desired. For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of reduced-fat milk. However, this will increase the calorie content. Sterilize the bottles by boiling them in water for 10 minutes to ensure a longer shelf life for your limoncello. This creamy limoncello is best served very cold. Consider chilling your serving glasses as well. For a variation, add a vanilla bean to the vodka infusion for a subtle vanilla flavor.

Mar 23, 2025I was a bit skeptical about the milk, but it actually works really well. It mellows out the alcohol and makes it so much more palatable. I will definitely be making this again.

Dec 8, 2024The only thing I would change is to let the milk mixture cool completely before adding the vodka. I had a little bit of curdling, but it still tasted great!
