Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lemons, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 bottle (750 milliliters) Champagne, chilled
3/4 cup best-quality vodka, chilled
4 ounces candied lemon peels

Steps:

  • With a vegetable peeler, remove zest from each lemon in a long, continuous spiral. Juice lemons, and strain pulp (you should have 3/4 cup juice). Set aside.
  • Heat sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add zest. Let syrup cool completely, about 2 hours.
