This is great for a cookout. Great cool drink. Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange in taste. If you can't find Meyer lemons, the flavor won't be as complex. For every 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice, substitute 3 tbsp lemon juice plus 1 tbsp orange juice plus 1/2 tsp sugar. Prep time includes chilling time. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 rosemary sprig |
1 cup fresh meyer lemon juice, chilled (about 8 lemons) |
1/3 cup vodka, chilled |
2 cups prosecco or 2 cups other sparkling wine, chilled |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup. Microwave at HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes; stir until sugar dissolves. Let stand 10 minutes; discard rosemary. Chill.
2. Combine sugar mixture, juice, vodka, and prosecco, stirring gently. Serve immediately.
