Refreshing! And potentially debilitating, so be careful. This recipe, from B’s Cracklin’ BBQ in Savannah, GA, (read more about pitmaster Bryan Furman here) was originally made with Lawn Dart ginger-lemon liqueur, but Absolut Citron will work.

Back to TopMade my own lemon vodka with 1 cup vodka and 2 lemons quartered and let sit for a week in cool dark place. More lemony than minty. It was good but too tart.

Tasty but tart. I added a little sparkling water to top it off.

This was a big hit at our 4th of July celebration. The flavors of mint and ginger made it special, plus my guests appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. Be cautious, though, it will sneak up on you!
