Bearded’s Lime infusion
8 large limes
500ml neutral spirit (80-96%abv)
Microplane - amzn.to/3x7V4N4
1. Use a microplane to scrape the green part of the skin off 8 limes. Steep the grated peel in spirit for 12 to 36 hours until the spirit is a beautiful emerald green, then strain off the peels and use the liquid to make limecello. If you use a vegetable peeler to skin the fruit you may need to let it soak longer to get the color and flavor you want.
Bearded’s LimeCello
250ml lime infusion
50ml Lime juice
350ml simple syrup - (equal parts sugar & water heated to dissolve sugar, then cooled)
1. Mix and store in pantry for 1 week, then store in the freezer.
Bearded’s Key Lime Pie Cocktail, a.k.a LimeCello Cream
250ml Lime Infusion
150g sugar
150ml cream
250ml whole milk
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
½ vanilla bean- or 1/4tsp vanilla extract
1. Heat cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to 181F(83C), then turn off the heat, cover and let cool to room temperature.
2. Remove vanilla pod, then combine mixture with 250ml of lime infusion and mix thoroughly.
3. Stores in fridge for 1-2 months.

I was told that Italian cello does not have juice, only zest, and French cello does. My recipe is apparently French, even though I got it from an Italian’s “family recipe”. A fifth of 100 proof vodka, zest of 15 large lemons, 2 cups of the juice. Steep 3 days. Strain, add 2 cups of sugar, shake, freeze overnight.

You could try clarifying the lime juice before adding it to keep the color. The book Liquid Intelligence: The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail by David Arnold has instructions for clarifying citrus juice.

Tried the Key lime pie recipe. I put the milk and cream in the lime infused 180proof neutral that I made. After mixing I placed it in the fridge. I went back to check and it seemed to solidify. What’s going on here?

@BeardedBored 3 года назад

That's normal. The cream will separate if you let it sit for a while because it has so much fat, and fat floats. Hence the saying "The cream always rises to the top." Just shake it. Should mix right back up.

There are oils in the zest that are completely dissolved in High ABV alcohol but, when you dilute, the oils are less dissolved so separate out, making the citruscello opaque.

Nah, cooking the sugar with a little acid changes the chemistry of the sugar and kills the "sugar bowl" flavor. Simple syrup is correct.

@xxxndxxx1861 2 года назад

Absolutely awesome! BTW....for those interested., the spirit can turn cloudy for two reasons. 1.The oils from the lime skins can cause a cloudy color when diluting with water/syrup. In time , it will separate/settle and clear. 2. The lime juice added to the simple syrup can also cause an opaque color effect. The use of Agar can clear many fruit juices. Google for directions. Haven't tried the Key Lime Pie, yet. But I know it will be delicious.

@thomasanderson7548 3 года назад

If you use 70% alcohol there will be less low density particulates after it is diluted but the color will still not be that emerald green and it will extract as much of the flavour - leaving it longer will extract more of a grassy flavour which is not the best

Do you think it went cloudy because of louching….the oils of the limes emulsified. Many citrus & gins can do it, as does Pernod & absinthe (made by the same company. Give the term a google to get more info on “louching”….it’s a THING!!! Hypothetically. :)

I mixed some of this limecello with some of the high proof blueberry spirit as shown on Still-It and it was amazing! I used a 50-50 ratio, but that could be played with to perfect the taste. The blueberry and the lime play off each other and enhance each other to create something really nice.

Gove it time and let it sit… I added lime juice to a mojito inspired kilju (CS Mead & More’s recipe) and after a few weeks of sitting in the bottles the solids and murky stuff all settled in the bottom of the bottles. So if you want clear lime cello it most probably just needs time. Make a large batch, let it sit and if need be, rack off the clear part. Use the murky part for your key lime pie drink. Use the clear part for straight lime cello.

That sounds amazing, I have batch of lemon that been going a month. I may have to try the key lime pie recipe with the lemon cello. Thanks for sharing, love everything you do.

Those are trickier, but I'm interested to try them out:-)

@@BeardedBored would have to use the flesh of the fruit in stead of the skin... but would be interesting for sure. I like the cherry limeade Jamie called out.

Was going to mention that about chill separating and then decanting cause my grapefruit one did the same and after a couple decants and a filter it turned crystal clear.

Ciao my name is Gino, I'm from New Zealand and have just stumbled on your channel, i love your Limecello and Key Lime video, am definitely inspired to make some. I'm actually in the middle of making a reasonable size batch of Limoncello currently, but I've been thinking for sometime about lime. Many thanks for sharing ideas, grazie - Ciao

I used key limes, what a pain to zest, but I am a key lime pie lover. Almost done modifying the recipe to make it vegan. Thanks for the inspiration.

I was kind of glad I couldn't find key limes;-)

Bearded... Clarified lime juice might help. We use it at the bar to help in cocktails.... Also that may just be a natural louche. Your taking a high proof spirit and adding water like with an absinthe.... Same result.
