Hey Guys and Gals! A vodka infused with desert lime peel and juice, then sweetened with a sugar syrup.
Ingredients
Step 1
1 to 2 desert limes, depending on size
4 cups of vodka
Step 2
3 cups water
2 cups sugar
Directions
1. Scrub the desert limes clean and free of wax. Peel them with a vegetable peeler or zester, avoiding the pith, and put the peels in a jar. Juice the fruit and add the juice to the jar.
2. Pour the vodka over the peels so they are fully submerged. Close, shake well and store away from sunlight in a cool, dry place for 1 week, agitating occasionally.
3. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool. Once at room temperature, store the syrup in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
4. After a week, strain through several moistened layers of cheesecloth and gently wring out the rest. Strain again through a coffee strainer if needed.
5. Combine the infusion with the syrup slowly, tasting until it suits you. Refrigerate and serve cold.
Glass is always preferable when working with strong alcohol. Use organic ingredients to avoid pesticide residues.
