It's a mixed drink that uses lemon juice and it's perfect for guests who don't like the alcohol punch of the Limoncello. Almost forgot, use the juice of the lemons to make lemon drops.

I have a couple suggestions for you. From the pictures it looks like you probably got some pith in the batch, I'd recommend a microplane grater. It's faster, easier, get no pith in the batch and the small zestings have more surface area so it's easier for the infusion to occur. The other thing is the liquor. The stronger the liqueur, the more of the lemon oil is drawn into the infusion. Not only that but vodka imparts its own (potato?) flavor and 80 proof vodka is too weak. Limoncello is properly enjoyed straight from the freezer and using 80 proof vodka along with the relatively water heavy recipe you have means the liquor will freeze in the freezer. I have a whole blog on this at limoncelloquest.com and I'd love to hear how this batch turns out for you! Fantastic pictures, very inviting. I have a couple suggestions for you.

I've always wanted to try this, and will wait to see how yours comes out. Lemon curd is nice, you can serve it with angel food cake and some berries, or just plain cookies for dipping. Or, to put it off, you can just juice them and freeze the juice ice cube trays. This is great! I’ve always wanted to try this, and will wait to see how yours comes out.
