Categories     beverage

Time 30m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup demerara sugar
1 ounce gin, such as Plymouth
1 ounce limoncello, store-bought or homemade, recipe follows
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1 ounce Moscato d'Asti
1 sprig fresh lavender
Lemon wedge, for garnish
12 large, thick-skinned lemons, preferably Sorrento lemons, washed
1 liter inexpensive vodka, such as Smirnoff or Tito's
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • For the demerara sugar syrup: Combine the demerara sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • For the lavender lemon drop: Add the gin, limoncello, lemon juice and 1/2 ounce of the demerara sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker, add large ice and shake vigorously. Add the Moscato d'Asti, tumble-roll once to mix throughout and double-strain into a martini glass with a small sprig of lavender. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve (do not muddle the lavender).
  • Keep the remaining demerara sugar syrup covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.
  • Remove the peels from the lemons carefully, making sure not to include any of the pith. Place the peels in a large container and add the vodka (reserve the vodka bottle for later). Infuse until the alcohol strips the oils and color out of the peels, 12 to 24 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the simple syrup. Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Fill the vodka bottle with about 27 ounces of the infused vodka and 7 ounces of the simple syrup and place in the freezer. Serve ice cold in chilled small copita or shot glasses.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lavender buds for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lavender, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried lavender buds.
  • Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the drops.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the sugar syrup is ready. To do this, drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the syrup gets too hot, it will turn brown and bitter.
  • Let the drops cool completely before storing them. If you store them while they are still warm, they will stick together.

Conclusion:

These lavender vanilla lemon drops are a delicious and easy-to-make candy. They are perfect for a special occasion or as a gift. With their beautiful purple color and refreshing lavender flavor, these drops are sure to impress your friends and family.
