LEMON VODKA SLUSH RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by ukiahgal67
Number Of Ingredients 8
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.
