Zesting a clementine |
I love limoncello. When I started making limoncello, one of my friends told me that she had made orangecello. She told me that it was great. I noticed clementines were on sale at the grocery store. They are so delicious. I bought two small crates. I decided to turn one crate into orangecello.
Orangecello
1 Bottle (750 ml) of Vodka
16 Clementines or 8 Oranges
|
Zest in a jar |
Wash the clementines or oranges. Carefully zest the clementines or oranges and place the zest in a large glass container. I use a mason jar. Pour in the vodka. Store in cool dark place for 1 to 2 weeks, shaking the jar every couple of days.

Orange Simple Syrup
|
Straining orange juice |
5 Cup Water
4 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Orange Juice, Strained
|
Orange simple syrup |
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool completely and add the orange juice.

Making Orangecello
Pour the vodka and zest through a strainer into a large bowl. Add the orange simple syrup and pour into bottles. Refrigerate and enjoy!

The bottom line: will I make this again? Yes. Yummy. I may like limoncello more but it is a close call.
