Quadracentifiable – Limonecello
OR Quadracentifiable Lemon Liqueur: I think that would mean 400 times more, however if you did 400 times more alcohol or Vodka, you might be certified “Quadracentifiable” – so i suggest you stick to the quantities below and if you do want to make it Quadracentifiable then add more Lemon…
There is more to Limoncello than meets the eye.

Large glass jar ( to hold the peeled lemon and alcohol)
Peel the zest from the lemons with a vegetable peeler place into a large glass jar.
Add the alcohol to the jar with lemon zest, cover glass jar with cellophane and store in a cool place for 7 days.
On the 6th day boil the water and add the sugar to the boiling water
Stir the sugar until it is fully dissolved in the water
Set the sugar syrup aside to let it cool overnight.
On the seventh day – It really does sound like Genesis

Poor the sugar syrup into the glass with the alcohol and stir well
It will keep for 1 to 2 years, Store in bottles, with a cap or cork in your bar or in cellar. Chill before serving, there is some debate about this; the advice I got was to never freeze Quadracentifiable Lemonecello as it destroys the aroma. So I suggest you experiment.
