Ingredients

  • 1 lemon
  • vodka

Method

Remove some skin from your lemon. You can do this by either using a canelle knife, or zester, or using a regular knife. If you use a regular knife you will also have to cut the pith from your lemon strips.

Put the strips in a glass and fill up with vodka. You will need to leave this for about 2 weeks for the oils from the lemon skin to infuse the vodka.

This vodka can be used to add a twist to martinis and other vodka cocktails.
