What is not brewing but will still be buzzing

FWIW, this isn't something that is supposed to be drunk in quantity. Just like most liqueurs, its served as an after dinner digestivo in a small glass. Serving size is about a shot. Once you cut it with the simple syrup, it does pack a punch, but it is extremely sweet.

Exactly! Like Ozo, Obster, Grappa, Jager; best served ice cold. Either put the bottle in the freezer or - since I like the looks of it - serve in a wine tasting (or other very small) glass with a single ice cube.

Done! Not a very patient man and since I was satisfied with the results so far I decided to bottle it.

Another thing I will be trying this week - More alcohol for the holidays. :rockin: :rockin:

you inspired me to bottle my own, a week early. I strained everything out but placed the vanilla bean in the center bottle for kicks.

nice! I like those bottles.
The only thing I would change next time is to cut the sugar a little bit, Its just a little too sweet and pours out a bit syrupy.

well, you could always cut it with more grain alcohol

Just made a label for the bottles, feel free to use it if you like!

I am finally getting around to making a second batch of this. Did any of you try it with vanilla pods and if so how did it turn out compared to plain lemons?

This is the batch I made last spring. Since then I discovered that using limes and a good handful of mint leaves makes a damn fine Mojito-cello. I like it even better than lemon. I also made orange-cello, which ain't too shabby either.
