About how many oranges did you use? Most other recipes I have seen use much less water and sugar. Is your version weaker or does it still have a strong flavor?

I have just made Limoncello – waiting to drink now…… have made it a few times now – always successful. You can find this recipe on uktvfood.co.uk. It is a James Martin recipe and it is really good, mind you, all of his recipes seem to work – great chef!

Ben, that hasn’t put me off. I love limoncello and adore orange zest flavoured stuff. So this is definitely on my to try list. I’d join you on that trip to Campania if I could Andrea

I’ve tried this a number of times but it never has the magic for me that limoncello does. It always ends up tasting too much like orange zest (which stands to reason) and not enough like oranges.

I read an article in Sunset magazine back in 2007 about making Limoncello, and ever since, I have been hooked. It is so easy to make, and you are right, now is the season with citrus so plentiful. For limoncello, I prefer to use Meyer Lemons, I think the flavor is much nicer. And I use a mix of Everclear and 100 proof Vodka. Makes wonderful gifts!

I haven’t tasted or really seen much arancello here in Italy but I’m sure it would be great to mix it with some sparkling wine and have a new version of a mimosa, too! Yum!

Enticing photos! I have a soft spot for limoncello—the first time I invited my parents to see my apartment (my first after college) in Boston’s North End, we toasted with my very first shot of limoncello. Many memorable firsts for a day Arancello sounds amazing too!

I haven’t made arancello yet, though I know I’d love it. I did make some limoncello recently with my dad, and it takes all my willpower not to drink every night! It’s like frozen lemonade for adults, isn’t it? Thanks for the great post, Andrea. I really enjoyed it.
