About the Recipe
Ingredients
4 lemons, peeled
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 liter dry gin
750 mL Aperol
12 ounces St- Germain
12 ounces grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed preferred
12 ounces lemon juice, freshly squeezed preferred
12 ounces orange juice, freshly squeezed preferred
750 mL sparkling rose
Garnish: orange wheels
Preparation
Step 1
Muddle the lemon peels (save lemons for juicing) with the sugar in a bowl until the sugar looks slightly moistened.
Step 2
Cover and let sit for at least one hour, or overnight, so the sugar can absorb the lemon oils.
Step 3
Add the gin, Aperol, St-Germain, grapefruit juice, lemon juice and orange juice to a large pitcher or punch bowl. Add the lemon-sugar mixture, and let sit for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the lemon peels, drop in a large ice block, and add the sparkling rose. Garnish the pitcher and individual punch cups with orange wheels.
