Hi everyone, here were are making the recap of our fantastic virtual meet up about Sorrento’s Gold.

For those that might not know **Sorrento**i s a beautiful city in the south part of the Gulf of Naples, and it’s mostly known for their beautiful lemon groves, here an example. So as you might guess Limoncello is quite an important local heritage, so that’s why I wanted to share with all of you how to create in you own home the best Limoncello you have taste.

[Velvel]

Such a great meetup @nicspelgatti

Was this the Limoncello that you talked last night in the virtual meetup with Jhey?

Hi Nic, I am not YODA, the legendary Jedi Master from Star Wars. Though I wish I had those kind of powers!

Just good ole yagokd …

[Stphn]

Thanks a lot for this great meetup, @nicspelgatti !

I really enjoyed it and had a great laugh, you are definitely a good speaker and so easy to listen to. (And the accent is phenomenal! )

As for the limoncello, I unfortunately was not able to make the limoncello yet. I am trying to find online a bottle of pure alcohol 95% but the cheapest that I have found was 40 euros including delivery.

(taxes on pure alcohol in Belgium are huge)

[Stphn]

@yagokd , it was great meeting you. You have made me laugh a lot with your comments during the meetup!

[yagokd]

@Stphn

Nic referred to me as YODA the character fron Star Wars in his recap . Maybe he thinks I am Alien .

Thank you.

[nicspelgatti]

OMG @yagokd I’m so sorry I did immediately change

I still don’t know where that Yoda spelling come from probably in the clicking

to make it up to you I’ll make you a bottle of limoncello just for you and when we have a chance to see each other I’ll bring it to you sounds even?

[nicspelgatti]

Thanks for participating @SilvyC I can’t wait to see your pictures of your own homemade Limoncello!!!

[nicspelgatti]

@LightRich that seems beautiful!! excellent young padawan, you are truly mastering the art of limoncello!!

I see you used vodka, tell me did it came out nicely?

[LightRich]

Jajajaja, es muy divertido preparar el limoncello, cuando comencé a pelar los limones pensé que sería muy complicado, pero después ya no pude parar.

Sobre el vodka… pues eso era lo que tenía en la alacena y creo que en este momento es complicado conseguir el alcohol.
Pero aun no puedo hablarte del resultado final porque esperaré un día más para seguir la preparación. Anoche apenas se cumplieron 24hrs y quiero darle 48. Después haré más pruebas con un tiempo más largo de maceración, pero ¡ya me urge probarlo!

Muchos amigos en Mexico ya están ansiosos por probarlo también, jajaja. Hace mucho calor aquí y se antoja algo refrescante.
Te mantendré informado.

Hi @Velvel

eheheh yes this was the mee-up I was referring in @Jhey08 's meet-up

have you ever try it? well for the percentage that I use for the making is around 96° of alchool,

but one mixed with the milk if get around 40/50°, consider that the mixing is 50/50 approx

[nicspelgatti]

My great friend @Stphn It was all my pleasure to host you all (virtually) in my kitchen ehhehe

Noooowayyyy, I think that if something like this could happen in Italy there would be riots the very next day!!

I have an idea, when all of this lockdown will be over, the first chance we have to see each other I ll bring limoncello for you what do you think

[nicspelgatti]

ajajjaj entonces esperaré un mensaje tuyo para mostrarme la foto del limoncello

@LightRich

[Ruxellan]

It was nice meetup, thank you @nicspelgatti for organizing such a meetup.

[nicspelgatti]

thank you @Ruxellan for attending, so which one you prefer, Limoncello or Cream of Limoncello?

[Velvel]

I’ve never tried it before @nicspelgatti

It would be good to try the Limoncello that is made from a great ex bartender like you

[Stphn]

@nicspelgatti , I can imagine the riots! And you would be their leader, with banners like “Don’t take away my limoncello”.

What do I think?! That sounds awesome!! Looking forward.

[Giuseppe75]
