Sparkling Limoncello Punch with Rosemary

Hi, I know this recipe for Sparklung Lumoncello Punch posted years ago, but can you help me with portions? You said it serves 6 but only say 'parts' of ingredients, not how much. If it's for 6, would it be 6 shots Limonchei, 12 shots prosecco, etc?? How much sorbet? We want to make it for our gourmet lunch group. Thanks! Jan

Aa, Yay! Love hearing that my recipes actually work. Try adding a drop to sparkling wine next time you have some...really yum. Also makes potent and yummy Buddahcello martini, drop of buddahcello + vodka+ splash simple syrup & squeeze of lemon..probably can only have one, but would be fun pre-oscar cocktail!!

Dymnyno...that is awesome...I am now totally in love with the idea of food52 swap!!! The Buddah's hand is all about the scent from the essential oils, which is magical and there is no tartness to it since there is no pulp, juice at all. I know some people add lemon juice to their limoncello, and with the Meyer I probably will add some juice to the simple syrup at the end, but you can't do that with buddah's hand because there is none. I think of it like Buddah's hand is to Meyer lemon like Kumquat is to Tangerine...does that make sense? I am so jealous that buddah's hand is readily available there, first time I saw them was at this wonderful stand at the Marin Farmers market (one of my favorite places ever!!!!!!)

It's a deal! I am going to make my next batch with buddah's hand...will be interesting to taste the difference. Is it stronger than Meyer.?

Dymnyno...GLADLY!!! I have a batch of Meyer Limoncello brewing..we could swap!

I love this recipe...you should try it with my lemoncella!

This sounds really interesting, especially the rosemary syrup. I'm going to have to give it a go.

My husband makes limoncello, and this sounds like a great way to use it - I love your addition of the rosemary simple syrup.

yes! that is a buddahs hand, its wonderful!! It is the oldest know citrus fruit, like a dinosaur lemon. My limoncello recipe is pretty free form: Wash the buddah's hand well, Zest (you need at least 2 cups zest, you can augment with lemon or tangerine zest,) , mix the zest with 750 ml grain alcohol or 100 proof vodka, pour into clean sterile container with a cap (you can use the same bottle) Stash away in a cool, dark, lonely place for at least 3 weeks up to a month.. .strain, add a cup of simple syrup ( you can make a lemon simple syrup or if you have more buddah's hand use that, I have a hard time getting the zest from the fingers so usually I candy them and save the syrup, in the freezer, to mix in at the end.) I use the candied buddah hand bits in cookies or I just eat them during the month I am waiting for the "buddahcello" to ripen.

Is Buddah's Hand that crazy looking branched citrus thing I just saw at the store? I had no idea what it was ... would you share your limoncello recipe too?
