Hi, Serious Eats has a discussion of infusions that includes a wonderful idea for straining. It is a real pain in the --- to strain limoncello through a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Their suggestion:

Forgive my ignorance...how is an AeroPress different from a French Press? Amy |

Amy, AeroPress uses small paper filters with an air press to move the liquid. The result is finer filtration than a French press and faster filtering than a paper coffee filter. These cheap plastic coffee makers really do produce a wonderful cup. Tim |

I find that using strips of lemon peel (without the pith, by using a potato peeler) instead of microplaned, is easier and you still get the oils from the rind. Nancy |

I do it exactually as Phoenix described using a potato peeler and a light touch to be sure not to get any of the pith.. ....straining is not so difficult |

Okay, so since I was not going to a grocery store yesterday just for lemons I bought a huge bag at Costco when I only needed 2. Thinking of making limoncello but have no regular vodka. What are thoughts on making it with a flavoured vodka? We have several and never drink them. I have raspberry, cranberry, espresso, mango, peach, and chocolate vodkas. |

That's a lot of flavored vodkas...which begs the question, why so many if you don't drink them? I'd say you have nothing to lose to try it. I'd try the raspberry. Amy |

Amy, it's a great question. Hubby hates to go through duty free empty handed! I *think* the idea was that we would have lots of different martinis, but then realized we don't really like martinis. If I get out of this bathrobe today will try it. |
