Posted on: Apr 7, 2008

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • tablespoons fresh gingerroot, sliced into 1/8-in .-thick coins (1 small piece)
  • sprigs fresh rosemary (5 in. each)
  • cup fresh lemon juice (at least 5 lemons)
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 cups citrus-infused vodka
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Make lemon concentrate: In a medium saucepan, bring 2/3 cup sugar, ginger, 5-in. rosemary sprigs, and 2 1/2 cups water to a boil.
    2. 2
      Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Let steep at room temperature 20 minutes. Strain into a medium bowl, discarding rosemary and ginger, and stir in lemon juice.
    3. 3
      Pour remaining 2/3 cup sugar onto a plate. Slice 2 thin slices from lemon and quarter the slices. Insert a 1 1/2-in. rosemary sprig through center of each quarter.
    4. 4
      With a wedge cut from remaining lemon, moisten the rims of 8 cocktail glasses. Twist rims gently in sugar to coat.
    5. 5
      Fill a large pitcher half-full with ice cubes. Pour in vodka and lemon concentrate and stir vigorously. Strain into glasses, dividing evenly. Float a rosemary-skewered lemon quarter in each.
