I have a wine room that I normally keep around 63 degrees, I was wondering if this is too cool for storage?

The result seems to be a smooth, sweet taste that people seem to like (if a bit strong - 75 to 80 proof). Have you tried a recipe with lemon verbena? My neighbor (an Italian chef) gave me a recipe using lemon verbena - maybe you'd like to try it? I can email it if you're interested.

(I currently have a 1 liter bottle sitting with the zest of 14 lemons, and am trying to research a good simple syrup ratio.) I've never used Everclear before, and don't want to waste the effort.

I'll have to try my new batch with the distilled water! I find that Polish Spiritus Ratifikowany makes for a bit smoother final product vs the Everclear.

I personally wouldn't recommend the use of flavored vodkas. I don't like them because they have a chemical flavor that I detest. But even if I liked them I wouldn't use them because it would make it nearly impossible to know if you're making good limoncello. The liquor and water should add no flavors to the finished product ideally. Normal vodka (unflavored) has its own taste but it's easy to ignore. A flavored vodka would add so much flavor that the flavor of the lemon oils wouldn't shine through. Hi Cath! I personally wouldn’t recommend the use of flavored vodkas.
