Lemon Flavored Vodka Recipe #13346
From the Jewish Food Archives.
by Mirj
5 min | 5 min prep

1 small lemon
1 quart vodka

Remove the thin outer peel from a small lemon in one long spiral; avoid the
bitter white pith.
Drop it into a quart of vodka and let stand at least 1 week, removing the
peel when you think its job has been done.
The lemon colors the vodka pale yellow and imparts a slight citrus sweetness
and pungency.
TO USE: Serve the vodka chilled.
If you wish, the vodka may be stored in the freezer.
