Lemon Infused Vodka Recipe

Lemon vodka is the base for limoncello and is a citrusy, flavorful drink. I use the power of the whipping siphon to quickly extract the flavors from the lemon peels, reducing the macerating process from several weeks to 5 minutes. The final product is a little less rounded than the original, but it's a great substitute if you have a hankering for limoncello and don't want to wait several weeks. Once the lemon vodka is done, you can turn it into limoncello.

The recipe calls for the zest of 5 lemons and not wanting to waste the lemons themselves I make lemonade with them. Simply combine the lemon juices with enough sugar and water to balance out the sour.
