Limoncello Recipe. Limoncello While searching for a good recipe for Limoncello, I found a lot of conflicting information.

Limoncello Recipe

Some recipes use vodka, others use grain alcohol (without specifying the potency, which varies) and others even used rum! The alcohol-to-water-to-sugar ratios also varied widely, and it made me wonder if people had typos in the recipes, or were just posting a recipe they had never even tasted!
