19. Many families who live in the area of Sorrento make their own limoncello at home, so I think I might as well try it! The problem is that one of the ingredients I cannot find at my store is grappa. What can I use instead?

Answer:
Vodka
I'm not kidding! Limoncello as an after meal drink rocks! In Sorrento many people make their own at home, and they use their own carefully guarded family recipe. So what if I decide to make some? I have already resigned myself to the fact that I will not be able to use the native Sorrentine lemons. In truth, once you see and taste these lemons, you will understand that not all lemons are created equally! Nevertheless, I have gathered my lemons and sugar, but exactly what is grappa? It is made by distilling the pomace, solid remains from winemaking, such as the skin, stems, and even the seeds! But - if you don't have access to grappa, common recipes tell that vodka will work too! I'll have to let you know about that one. There are two distinct steps and in the total process the ingredients have to steep for 80 days! It is important, however, to choose 100 proof vodka, as it has less taste, and the high alcoholic content will keep the finished product, which is stored in the freezer, from freezing.
