Categories     Vodka     Side     Lemon

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups water
2 cups sugar
Zest of 3 lemons, finely grated
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 5 lemons
1 cup citrus-flavored vodka

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water and sugar. Cook and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup looks clear, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool the syrup by pouring it into a bowl and putting it into the refrigerator or over an ice bath. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice; stir to combine. Mix in the lemon vodka.
  • Pour the lemon mixture into a shallow baking pan and freeze for 1 hour. Using a fork or a couple of chopsticks, break up all the ice crystals on the bottom and sides of the pan. This incorporates air so the final product literally melts in your mouth. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, until the mixture has reached a frozen granular consistency. You can serve it two ways: Either rake the granita with the tines of a fork for a snow-cone-like product or run an ice-cream scooper down the length for a smooth Italian-ice-like result. Spoon it into a wine or martini glass.

LEMON VODKA SLUSH RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Lemon Vodka Slush Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by ukiahgal67

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups water
3 cups white sugar
juice of 2 lemons
juice of 2 oranges
6 cups pineapple juice
2 cups grapefruit juice
4 cups lemonade + extra for mixing
5 cups vodka

Steps:

  • 1. Make a simple syrup by bringing the water to a boil in a saucepan and stirring in the sugar until it's completely dissolved. 2. Pour the simple syrup into a container and leave to cool to room temperature. When cooled, pour the rest of the ingredients into the container and stir well. 3. Freeze for at least 24 hours. When ready to serve, scoop out as much frosty stuff as you need to fill your glass and top with lemonade. If you struggle to drink it, mix it up a bit with a spoon or a straw to help dissolve the frostiness.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lemons and vodka. Use organic lemons if possible, as their peel is not treated with chemicals. Look for smooth, blemish-free lemons with a bright yellow color. As for vodka, choose a brand that is smooth and neutral in flavor.
  • Use a microplane grater or vegetable peeler to remove the lemon zest. Avoid using a regular grater, as it will remove too much of the bitter white pith.
  • Infuse the vodka with the lemon zest for at least 24 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a smooth, flavorful liqueur.
  • Use a clean glass jar or bottle for infusing the vodka. This will help to prevent any unwanted flavors from seeping into the liqueur.
  • Store the lemon vodka in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
  • Enjoy your lemon vodka neat, on the rocks, or mixed with your favorite cocktails. It's also a great addition to desserts, such as lemon cake or sorbet.

Conclusion:

Lemon vodka is a delicious and versatile liqueur that's easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can create a flavorful liqueur that's perfect for sipping on its own or using in your favorite cocktails. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting spirit to try, give lemon vodka a try. You won't be disappointed!
