Categories     beverage

Time 30m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup demerara sugar
1 ounce gin, such as Plymouth
1 ounce limoncello, store-bought or homemade, recipe follows
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1 ounce Moscato d'Asti
1 sprig fresh lavender
Lemon wedge, for garnish
12 large, thick-skinned lemons, preferably Sorrento lemons, washed
1 liter inexpensive vodka, such as Smirnoff or Tito's
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • For the demerara sugar syrup: Combine the demerara sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • For the lavender lemon drop: Add the gin, limoncello, lemon juice and 1/2 ounce of the demerara sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker, add large ice and shake vigorously. Add the Moscato d'Asti, tumble-roll once to mix throughout and double-strain into a martini glass with a small sprig of lavender. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve (do not muddle the lavender).
  • Keep the remaining demerara sugar syrup covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.
  • Remove the peels from the lemons carefully, making sure not to include any of the pith. Place the peels in a large container and add the vodka (reserve the vodka bottle for later). Infuse until the alcohol strips the oils and color out of the peels, 12 to 24 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the simple syrup. Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Fill the vodka bottle with about 27 ounces of the infused vodka and 7 ounces of the simple syrup and place in the freezer. Serve ice cold in chilled small copita or shot glasses.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, add an extra teaspoon or two to compensate for the lack of zest.
  • Don't overcook the sugar syrup. It should reach a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit (113 degrees Celsius) on a candy thermometer.
  • Make sure the lemon drops are completely coated in sugar before you remove them from the pan. This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the lemon drops in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Lavender vanilla lemon drops are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover lemons, and they make a beautiful and unique gift. With their bright citrus flavor and delicate floral aroma, lavender vanilla lemon drops are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
