Yield 4 to 6 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (5 to 7 lemons), divided
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups good vodka, such as Grey Goose
6 tablespoons sugar syrup (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup Italian limoncello liqueur
1 1/2 cups cold sparkling water, such as San Pellegrino
Ice cubes
Thinly sliced lemon rounds, for serving

Steps:

For the salt-sugar rim on the glasses, pour 1/4 cup of the lemon juice in a shallow bowl. Combine the salt and sugar on a small plate. Dip the rim of the glasses first in the lemon juice and then dip them lightly in the salt-sugar mixture. Set aside to dry.
Combine the vodka, the 1 cup of lemon juice, sugar syrup, and limoncello in a large pitcher. Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water and stir.
Fill each glass with ice. Pour the cocktail mixture over the ice, garnish each drink with a slice of lemon, and serve ice cold.
