Lemoncello drinks
This stuff is orgasmic!
You need:
12 lemons
1 bottle of Everclear Pure Grain Alcohol
Sun Tea Jar
Wash your lemons, then peel. You are using the peel, so make sure you don't peel so deep you get the white stuff with the peel. Put peels in sun tea jar and pour the bottle of Everclear over them. Put on cap, shake and put in a dark closet for a few weeks.
After 2-3 weeks, take a peel out and bend it. If it cracks, it's ready. If not, let is steep another week. When the peel cracks you are ready.
Now you need:
2 pints distilled water
3 cups sugar
Warm your water, add sugar. Bring to boil and boil until sugar is completely dissolved. If it doesn't completely dissolve, your drink will be gritty. After sugar is dissolved, cool water to room temp.
Now strain your alcohol thru coffee filters. Again, if you don't strain until clear, your drink will have "floaties".
Add your liquor to the sugar water and shake. I keep this in the freezer.
This is the yummiest drink....be careful though.....I've gotten pretty snockered on this......doesn't take much!

White Christmas Martini
these are very yummy....
4 parts ocean spray white cranberry juice cocktail
1 part vodka
1 part simple syrup (recipe to follow)
that is it, just mix and enjoy!!
simple syrup :
2 cups of regular white sugar
1 cup of water
let sugar/water boil for 5 minutes; cool.
simple syprup can be kept in the fridge for a couple of weeks if you don't use it all up, however in my house it usually does lol!!
For decoration, take sugar in the raw and put a few drops of red food coloring and mix til sugar turns red. With a lime or lemon, go around the rim of the glass to get it wet. Then dip the glass into the colored sugar.
Fill the glass with the martini mix and as a snazzy garnish drop in 3 fresh cranberries (remember, they float!!) .
You can also make a non-alcohol version for the kiddies.

Just have to say I made Isa's Banana Bread the other night and it was delicious! Of course I chose to make the less healthier one.  So worth it though!  |
