Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar or more to taste
- 1 3/4 cups water divided
- 1 cup lemon juice fresh
- 3 1/2 cups ice
- 1 cup mint leaf fresh
- 4 ounces vodka
- 4 mint optional, sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and sugar. Heat over medium, whisking constantly, till the sugar dissolves. Let the water cool to room temperature.
- In a blender, combine the sugar water, fresh lemon juice, ice, fresh mint leaves, vodka and remaining 3/4 cup of water.
- Pulse for a few seconds, then blend for 1 minute till the ice is thoroughly crushed and the drink takes on the texture of a thick slushy. Taste. This recipe produces a mildly sweet limonana, which is the way I like it. Some people like it sweeter. Add sugar to taste, if desired, and blend again.
- Pour into cold glasses and serve. Garnish with sprigs of mint, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
