The answer

Essential oils from citrus peels, like lemon, are permissible and pure, and there is no disagreement regarding this. However, if they are extracted to the point of becoming intoxicating, then drinking them is unanimously forbidden, and the rulings regarding the impurity of alcohol apply to them. The preponderant opinion is that they are impure.
