Joeys stiff lemonade

“At Joeys we believe a great cocktail can only be made
by using the best ingredients. It is near impossible to replicate
the sweet tanginess of freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice, so
why not use the real thing? Key ingredients such as simple syrup
round off harsh edges, but because natural sugar levels vary in
fruit, we suggest starting off using less simple syrup and add more
to taste. Another key ingredient is the lemoncello. The brand we
use is by Russo and is made with the peel of hand picked lemons off
the Amalfi coast in Italy. When you open the bottle you can
actually see the oils from the lemon rind floating in the liqueur.
This is also a great liqueur to serve on ice. The lemon helps with
digestion before or after a meal.”

Ingredients:
|
Equipment Required:
|
|
2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
2 oz simple syrup (see below)
1 oz vodka (we use Smirnoff)
1/2 oz Russo lemoncello
1/2 oz cointreau
|
Blender
Handheld citrus juicer
Ice (preferably crushed)
1 oz shot glass or jigger
|
Simple syrup recipe:
Equal parts by volume: white sugar and water. Heat up the water in
a kettle. Once boiling, pour equal part water over equal part white
sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Cool, then pour
into a squeeze bottle and keep in fridge.
Directions:
Add approximately 16 oz of ice. Turn on blender and blend until all
chunks are gone. Lift up a corner of the lid with the blender still
on and start adding ice slowly. The drink should start to thicken.
Keep adding ice until the cyclone in the middle of the blender
really starts to disappear and the drink is moving slowly. Be
careful, if you add to much ice and the drink stops moving, you
will probably end up with ice chunks. Once the drink is perfectly
slushed, serve to yourself or friends. Just multiply the recipe to
make more.
Serve straight up as a nice refreshing lemonade, or pour 2 oz into
your double gin and tonic or vodka and soda to make your own
version of a Joeys Super sonic or Super Nova.
