Gennaro's on the Amalfi Coast in Italy to show you how to make your own limoncello - an Italian lemon liqueur that's a very popular after dinner drink and great poured over ice cream. You'll need fresh lemons, pure grain alcohol (you should be able to buy this online), water and sugar.

Bellissimo!

    "VALENTINO ISE-DA KINGA OF-A LIMONI-CELLO... " ONLY ALLOWS HIM TO BRING THE SHOT GLASSES

    His accent drifts from Italian to London East side. Nice one Govna'.

    'There was a butterfly!' Gennaro knows how to make me smile.

    I love how Valentino wore a sunny lemon coloured sweater for the video :)
  • @roys.1394
    Haha, based on the glass i bet that wasnt the first one they had.
  • @robjacobs5199
    A couple of very important points were missed in this video. If you can't get alcohol over 40% then you need to leave the skins for at least two weeks to extract all the oil otherwise it will not go cloudy but remain clear when mixed as I found out.

    He is like a living encyclopedia of Italian food. O man, i love it to hear him talking and cooking. So much love and passion.

    I vote for this LIMONCELLO video with the "BUTTERFLY", as the best video on YOUTUBE. My son and daughter made it with less sugar and it made me very happy.......
  • @snowdjagha
    Valentino added a lot to the video. Thank you, Valentino!
  • @boy638
    wow i was surprised no lemon juice was involved in making it, so simple!
  • When life gives you lemons, make limoncello, because it makes everything so much better than lemonade! (I tried it with 90% alcohol, it was still a bit strong for me, so I added +50 ml of water.)

    I'm not a huge fan of liqueurs, but I visited Capri not too long ago, and I have to say the Limoncello they make there is absolutely fantastic; definitively giving this a try.
  • @HateRedStephen
    i've done this sugar shaking thing, saves so much work. next week i'll be making arancello and then a personal project i call agrumicello, made with peels from lime, lemon, orange, pomelo, grapefruit and tangerines. hope it tastes heavenly.
  • @marcusmello69
    I'm never tired of seeing Genaro! I've watched this video at least 100 times for the past 4 years
  • i made this and had the lemons sit for 5 days instead of 3 cause i didn’t have time to make it on day 3 lol but it was amazing! thank you :)
  • @googo151
    Happy happy butterfly moment. 2:24 secs. Love this video and recipe. Grazie Gennaro.
  • @elbloqueCWG
    Gennaro I love your recipes!! I did this Limoncello but when I take it from the freezer it was frozen... If i use sugar dissolved in boiled water this not happens!! and has a better taste!!! I recommend this method!!
  • @WardyLion
    Until a couple of years ago I’d never heard of Limoncello, not until I tried a local Italian restaurant I’d not been in before and they suggested it after we got talking drinks. I love the stuff!
