With the ban on the sale of alcohol you may find yourself rummaging through those dusty forgotten bottles in the back of the booze cupboard, as I did, and came upon a couple of bottles of limoncello made with last season's lemons. Happiness. Add a sparkle with fresh lemon or lime, soda or sparkling water, ice and a splash of vodka if you fancy.
Makes: 1 jug
Ingredients:
250ml (1 cup) limoncello
Splash of vodka, if using
Zest and juice of 3 large lemons or 6 limes
1 litre ice-cold soda or sparkling water
Ice cubes and lemon slices to garnish
Method:
- In a large jug combine the limoncello and vodka if using.
- Add the lemon/lime zest and juice.
- Just before serving, pour over the soda water. Top up with ice, add lemon slices, if using, and serve.
