Lemon Liquor

A beverage with around 40% alcohol made from lemon extract. It has a strong and unpleasant lemon flavor so it is usually mixed with lemonade or other sweet and sour drinks to make a 10-15% ABV cocktail.

Lemon liquor starts with a 16 oz bottle of lemon extract, which is mixed 50/50 with water. A yellow oil layer floats on top which is removed with a dropper. The remaining liquid is filtered through a Zerowater, Pur or Clear Genius water filter (with a brand-new cartridge) until it comes out clear.

Lemon liquor costs a little more than cheap vodka and tastes far worse, so it is generally only made by alcoholics and friendless underage drinkers.

Jim made a bottle of lemon liquor for the party this weekend!
