THE LELAND PALMER

3/4 C FRESH LEMON JUICE

1 C CHILLED CLUB SODA
Stir honey in hot water. Cool. Mix everything. DRINK.
THE ONE-ARMED MAN: ADD LIMONCELLO TO GRAPEFRUIT JUICE OR GRAPEFRUIT SODA.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE, PEOPLES?
And if you are so inclined, this is what I brewed this season:
CRANBERRY LIQUEUR
Combine 2 c water and 1 c sugar in saucepan. cook over medium high heat 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Remove and cool completely.
Food process cranberries until chopped. Combine sugar mix and cranberries in a bowl. Then add 3 c vodka. Jar and secure in cool dark place for 3 weeks, turning routinely.
Strain. Place 1 c sugar and 2 c water in pan and bring to simmer until clear. Add whole allspice, cinnamon sticks, pink peppercorns, cloves and anything else whole you think would rock ass. boil down to 1 cup. Cool, then add to jars and let sit for a millionty years. Strain. Add plain vodka to mellow if necessary. Bottle and give away.
I was told this was great mixed with chilled club soda.
