How to Make Orangecello
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from 8 small/medium oranges in long strips. Avoid the bitter white pith as much as possible.
- Place the orange zest in a clean, airtight container (glass is best).
- Add 750ml (25 oz) of high-quality vodka to the container with the zest.
- Seal the container tightly. Let the mixture steep in direct sunlight for 1 week, or in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks. Gently shake the container every few days.
- In a small saucepan, combine 375g (13 oz) granulated sugar and 375ml (12.7 oz) of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool completely.
- Once the orange zest has steeped, strain the vodka mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the zest.
- Slowly pour the cooled simple syrup into the strained vodka mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Transfer the Orangecello to sterilized bottles. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld. It will improve with age and can be stored for months in the refrigerator or freezer.
