Celia and Maureen's famous Lemondrops

a bag FULL of Meyer lemons stolen from Sue's tree
3/4 cup Sugar
6 cups water

Sneak over to Sue's house when she's not home (be sure to bring a bag), climb her fence and grab all the lemons you can reach. Be VERY careful to not let her neighbor see you (she takes pictures and finks!). Squeeze enough lemons for 2 cups of juice. Pour into a pitcher and add about 3/4 cup sugar (1 cup if you stole Eureka lemons from somewhere else - they are more tart). Add 6 cups of water. Pour into martini glasses and slip a slice of lemon (notched) onto the edge of your glass. Tell everyone you've added whatever kind of alcohol you'd typically add to make a REAL lemondrop drink (cuz i haven't a clue, and as long as they are only watching from afar, they'll never know the difference). Enjoy as many of these as you want - I promise... you WON'T be hung over in the morning with these! Go sit poolside with your sister (or friend) and enjoy the heck out of your accomplishments :)

Talk to Sue (Pruett)Miali, she has the story!

Limoncello liqueur

(we do 2 recipes at a time in 2 different 1/2 bottles)
6 lemons (we traditionally use Susan Miali's Meyer Lemons; you only need the zest, not the lemon juice so freeze the juice for another recipe)
1 750 ml. bottle vodka - preferably 100 proof
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups spring water

-Using the zester, remove the zest (colored part of the peel) from the lemon, being careful not to include any white pith - which is bitter.
-Place the zest in a 1/2 gallon jar with a tight-fitting lid, and the vodka. Cover and allow to sit at room temp. for 10 days, or until the zest is pale and the vodka has turned a deep yellow color.
Strain the liquid into a large glass bowl, leaving the zest in the strainer.
-In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil with the sugar- stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the hot sugar syrup over the zest in the strainer into a heatproof bowl. Discard the liquid to cool.
-Add the cooled syrup to the vodka, forming the liqueur. Pour this mixture into bottles with tight-fitting lids and allow to stand for 5 days.
-Store in the freezer.

We had this in Italy when we were there for the kitchen and bath show. It is served in a tiny glass as an after dinner drink. Of course, that was after each course had a different wine served with it! Whew! I've read that you can store this for at least a year.
We freeze in small ball jars and give them "to the guys" for Christmas presents.

Mikki's Margarita Mix

1 bottle regular margarita mix (1.75 liters) OR 1 bottle strawberry margarita mix
2 cups of tequila
1 cup of Triple Sec.

Then I added seven big cups of ice. (I actually used a big drink cup NOT a measuring cup.) I have a heavy duty drink mixer that crushes the ice. If your blender doesn't do that, I don't see why you can't buy crushed ice and just mix it all together really well. Put it in the freezer to get slushy. Enjoy!
