Limoncello Wedding Favors

limoncello wedding favors




While the snowstorm blusters outside, Chef Alexa is busy bottling some sunshine. Right now, she is scrapping the pith from 16 Meyer lemons to make limoncello. In a couple of weeks, we'll enjoy this Italian liqueur.



To create her limoncello, Chef Alexa combines the lemon peels, some sugar and a bottle of 100 proof vodka. A refreshing treat, it makes me remember the warmer times. I can almost feel sunshine and smell ocean breezes.



For summer weddings, limoncello makes a tasteful favor--especially if you make it yourself. You can put it in pretty little bottles and use ribbon to attach a tag. Easy and inexpensive, this makes a great, personal way to thank your friends and family for attending. No one will throw this away!
Here's a link to a good recipe: http://vinoevittles.blogspot.com/2006/03/limoncello-recipe.html.

While organic lemons are healthier, we couldn't find any Meyers that were. I think that any type of lemon will work fine.
If you have any questions about making limoncello, Chef Alexa is glad to answer them. Just write her at lemleyscatering@sbcglobal.net.
