Best Clemencello Clementine Liqueur Recipes
CLEMENCELLO
This is just like the Italian lemon liqueur limoncello, but made with clementines. It makes a great edible gift - but make sure to start it in good time, as it needs at least 15 days to infuse.

Steps:
- Wash the clementines well, then gently grate off the zest, taking care not to press so hard as to go through the skin and into the fruit.
- Put the zest in a large, sterilised, sealable jar and pour over half the vodka. Seal and set aside somewhere cool for about 5 days, giving the jar a shake every now and then.
- Put 280ml water and the sugar in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. This is important because if the syrup is warm it will result in a cloudy liqueur.
- Pour the clementine-infused vodka through a sieve lined with 3 layers of muslin into a jug, then mix with the remaining vodka and (cold) sugar syrup. Pour the mixture into cold, sterilised bottles, seal tightly with corks or airtight lids, then set aside in a cool, dark place for 10 days before using.
- To serve as a liqueur, chill in the freezer for several hours before drinking, then pour into small glasses.

CLEMENTINE LIQUEUR (LIQUORE AL MANDARINO)
This comes courtesy of DH's Italian cousin, Teresa. It has to be made 6+ months in advance, but is worth the wait. Posting now in autumn as pretty soon clementines will be flooding the market. Prep time doesn't include the long wait.
