• 10 lemons
• 1 750 ml bottle of Smirnoff Vodka (red label)
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
  

Don't even bother getting all fancy-schmancy with your vodka. Save your money. In the end, it tastes just the same.

I get my bottles at a Wine and Beer Homebrewing supplier. Or you can order them online. They are called "Bellissima".

I make these and stock up in the freezer. Whenever I'm off to visit a friend or go to a party, I grab on out of the freezer to bring. These are always such a hit!

Tip: Do not label the bottles before you freeze them. The labels wrinkle during thawing. Instead, before you give as a gift, take out of freezer and allow to thaw and dry. Apply label.
