Serves
6–8
Ingredients
- 10 ounces fresh lemon juice (approximately 5 lemons)
- 1 lemon, sliced into ¼-inch wheels
- 1.5 cups ouzo or other anise spirit
- Roughly cracked or small ice cubes
- 4 cups club soda or sparkling water
- Lavender sprigs, for garnish
Equipment
- 2 Highball or Collins glasses
- 1 pitcher
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, lemon slices, all of the lavender syrup, and ouzo. Fill the pitcher halfway with ice and, using a long-handled spoon, stir for 30 seconds until chilled. Add the club soda and stir gently. Fill as many highball glasses as needed with ice. Garnish with lavender sprigs and serve at once.
Cook's Notes
It seems almost every culture has their own version of an anise spirit. Most will work in this refreshing lemony punch, provided you select something clear. If you can't find ouzo, keep an eye out for sambuca, arak, raki, mastika, or pastis. For a lower-alcohol-content libation, choose anisette or aguardente; each contains 30% alcohol or less.
