Used this recipe with Kirkland vodka.

The bag of lemons from Costco had 14 in it, so I divided the zest up between two mason jars and used a little under 3 cups of vodka in each. 135 for two hours, then left on the counter overnight to cool and steep a little more.

Combined the two jars together and added just 2 ½ cups of simple syrup which made it sweet enough.

Total cost: about $20 for a little over two quarts of finished product, just in time for summer!

  1. Probably a well-known tip but…if you use cheaper vodka, run it through a brita filter water jug a couple of times. It really makes a difference to cheap vodka.
