Hello Dolores,

I cannot locate an official, authentic recipe for meloncello, but below are some melon liqueur recipes. The first one was computer translated from Italian.

Phaed

melon liquor

- 1 ripe melon
- 500 ml of alcohol with 90°
- 400 G of caster sugar
- 500 ml of water

Peel melons and remove the pips.
Put pulp in a glass container with alcohol and let soak for 30 days. 
Stir up from time to time.
At the end of this time, make a syrup with sugar and water, with very 
low heat  and watch closely so that it does not colour. It is important 
to let the syrup cool to room temperature before mixing it with the 
alcohol if one wants to obtain a clear liquor. Filter through a strainer 
with fine screen. Bottle and to let rest for 2 months

It will be necessary to wait the season of melon!

Homemade Melon Liqueur 

 4-cups honeydew melon, cut into pieces
1-lime peel, sliced and scraped
1-quart vodka
1-cup sugar
1/2-cup water
1-teaspoon glycerine
Peel and remove the seeds from melon.
Cut the melon up into 1/2-inch pieces.
Place the melon, lime peel, and vodka
into a glass jar, and cap tightly. 
Steep melon and lime peel in vodka for
3 weeks, then strain liquid thru
cheesecloth and squeeze melon and lime
very hard to extract juices. Combine 
sugar with water in a saucepan. Bring 
to a boil, and remove from heat. Cool
completely. Bottle liqueur. Add sugar

Age for 4 weeks.

2 Cups of Sugar
1 Cup of Water
1 tsp. Lemon Extract

week or two, shaking once in awhile. Strain and filter if necessary. 

Heat sugar and water until it boils and sugar is completely dissolved. 
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Mix all ingredients 
together. Bottle and let sit another couple weeks at least.

(Note: If using honeydew, you might want to add a touch of green food 
coloring.)
