Thanks for the tip, Donna! I may have to try that one of these days, since my local liquor store still has no limoncello.

I love limoncello from Italy but you can easily make your own: Soak the zest from 6 organic lemons in 750 mm bottle of vodka
(preferably 100 proof)in a jar with a tight fitting lid for 10 days. Bring 3 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups sugar to a boil for 3 minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Strain the vodka/zest mixture (reserving the zest) into a bowl. Stir the zest into the hot sugar syrup and strain into another bowl. When cool stir into the lemon flavored vodka. Discard the zest. Store in jar with a lid for another 5 days before serving. Store in freezer.

Lisa, that was a typo that I have now corrected. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of limoncello. So, I used 3/8 cup lemon vodka plus 1/8 cup of water. Thanks!

3/8 cup is more than 1/4 cup How much lemon vodka did you really use?? It sounds delicious.

Bakequery, I think it’s worth a shot. If it doesn’t taste sweet enough, you could always sprinkle the bars with confectioner’s sugar. That would add a little sweetness. Good luck!

Hey, was the cheesecake sweet enough? My daughter tried to make me some limoncello but was doubling the recipe and forgot to double the sugar. I now have a big bottle of not very sweet lemon vodka. I’m thinking about making your lemon squares. I think I can figure out how much sugar is missing per ounce and then add that to the recipe but am wondering if I should even bother. If you say they are delicious with lemon vodka then my slightly sweet lemon vodka should be good, too. Right? What do you think?

I’m totally gonna have to try these. Since I’m in Sicily, Limoncello is available on every corner along with the best ricotta in the world! I’ll let you know when I end up making them!
