How to Make Lime Liquor at Home

Equipment

  • Vegetable brush.
  • Vegetable peeler.
  • Large bottle with a cap.
  • Strainer.
  • Cheesecloth.

Ingredients
  

  • 9 Limes.
  • 2 cups Sugar.
  • 1 bottle Vodka. (17-50 ml)
  • 2 cups Water.

Instructions
 

  • Scrub the limes with the Vegetable brush to remove all the dirt, then pat them dry.
  • Now, only leaving the white pith of the lime, peel off the outer layers from all the limes. Not to use the pith as they will make the liquor bitter. Keep the peels in the empty bottle.
  • Pour the Vodka over the lime peels into the bottle and then place the cap on the bottle.
  • Now, you have to keep the bottle for four weeks- in that time, Vodka will take on the flavor of lime and turn into yellow color.
  • After four weeks, put water and sugar in a pan and bring them to a boil. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved and turns into a Simple Syrup.
  • Now pour that simple syrup over the Vodka and let it rest for another 5 weeks.
  • Now, strain the lime peels from the liquor using the Cheesecloth and strainer.

Your flavorful lime liquor is ready to drink and serve!
