Arancello is just like limoncello except it's made with blood oranges!
If you love limoncello you will love arancello! It is made exactly the same except arancello is made with blood oranges. Blood oranges are in season during the winter so you could substitute with regular oranges if you can’t find them. Tip: Add a little cream to each glass when serving for a dreamsicle shooter!
Ingredients:
1/2 liter pure grain alcohol (you can also use grappa, vodka or everclear)
5 skinned organic Sicilian blood oranges (careful not to skin the orange too deep – you don’t want the white pith) or oranges
1 liter water
2 cups of sugar
Process:
In a large jar with a lid, soak the orange-rind peels in the alcohol and leave in a cool dark place for about 14 days.
After it has sat for 14 days or so, filter the rinds from the alcohol. Boil the water & sugar, making a simple syrup, stirring to dissolve all the sugar in the water.
