Last night on the way home from seeing Wall-E (it was great by the way), we stopped at Meijer and I picked up a 1.75L bottle of Gilbey’s Vodka, a half dozen large lemons, and an Italian glass swing-top jar. The skins from those lemons are now living in jar with the vodka in my basement. In 3 weeks, I’ll write more on how the experiment has gone. We’ll be adding simple syrup to the mix to make the liqueur-of-summer and then probably aging some more. I’ve planned to bottle it in old Redstone Meadery bottles.
For the future, I’m going to pick up a microplane grater, which many say works a lot better than the method I used, which was a stardard bar peeler, which also took forever.
