The following is a basic formula for creating a liqueur. Me thinks this would be good done with rosemary, juniper berries, blueberries, peaches, and a number of different things to make a liqueur with a singular flavor. The cocktail above was fantastic and was 50% limoncello and 50% key lime juice (unsweetened.) Totally grownup lemon-limeade.

  • 10 lemon
  • 1 liter vodka
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 4 cups water

  1. Zest the lemons, and place zest into a large glass bottle or jar. Pour in vodka. Cover loosely and let infuse for one week at room temperature.
  2. After one week, combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. DO NOT STIR. Boil for 15 minutes. Allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
  3. Stir vodka mixture into syrup. Strain into glass bottles, and seal each bottle with a cork. Let mixture age for 2 weeks at room temperature.
  4. Place bottled liqueur into the freezer. When icy cold, serve in chilled vodka glasses or shot glasses.
