Isn't she beautiful?
Hello FRIDAY!! Only 12 more Fridays (give or take a few) without the love of my life (I hope I'm not breaking OPSEC here. :o). I can't WAIT to see him and share a martini with him....errr....scratch that. I'll have a martini & he'll have a beer. Can you believe he doesn't like martinis? Oh well, more for me.
Happy Friday!
Zest from 1 lemon
1¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
1 750ML bottle of **GOOD VODKA**
2 cups water
1 ½ cup sugar
Make simple syrup by simmering sugar and water together in a saucepan until all sugar has dissolved and syrup get a tad thick.Turn heat off, throw in all lemon zest.Let cool.Once cooled, pour lemon simple syrup through a strainer to remove all the zest.Using a funnel, pour the lemon simple syrup into the storage container, (I use a Simply Orange Juice container....works PERFECTLY!) add lemon juice and vodka. Put the lid on and shake. If you want one right away, just add ice to a cocktail shaker add a martini and shake, pour into a prepared martini glass with a sugar rim. If you are making these in advance for a party, they will last a very long time in the freezer – when you pull them out of the freezer just shake and pour. Ahhhh……

My new FAVORITE Vodka. Give it a try, cheaper than Grey Goose and a little smoother!
