When life gives you lemons, it's time to make a cocktail! Citrus peels are commonly thrown out once the fruit is juiced or used as a garnish, but did you know you can make a syrup out of them? This lemon oleo saccharum is an elevated alternative to a classic simple syrup and reduces food waste one peel at a time!

1 1/2 oz Wheyward Spirit

1 1/2 oz Lemon Oleo*

4 oz Club Soda

Add Wheyward Spirit and Lemon Oleo to a glass with ice and stir. Top with club soda and garnish with a lemon slice.

6 lemons (minimum)

1 1/2 cup sugar, divided

  1. Juice lemons and set juice aside. 
  2. Place peels in a bag or airtight jar with about 1 cup of sugar. Increase sugar if using more lemons. Refrigerate overnight. 
  3. Strain out lemon peels. 
  4. Combine remaining oil (oleo) with lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Warm on stove in small pot to combine. Add 1 oz of Wheyward Spirit to extend the life of the oleo.

The charm of this cocktail is found in its straightforward blend and vibrant presentation. The Frozen Dragon Fruit Lemonade is a celebration of summer, offering a burst of color and flavor with its inclusion of red dragon fruit.

Most people toss banana peels and overripe fruit straight in the trash, but both of these cocktails put that "past its peak" fruit to work, turning banana peels into a rich oleo and overripe bananas into a natural infusion, so nothing goes to waste from the fruit bowl to the glass.

This is a classic old fashioned with a little extra warmth. Instead of plain sugar, simmer maple syrup with autumnal spices for a cozy twist alongside the smoky sweetness of Wheyward Wheyskey. Make the syrup once and you're set for the month.

The simplicity of our Spanish Style Whey & Tonic helps the unique flavor of our spirit shine and sets the stage for a world of customization options. We love a classic cucumber, juniper, and lemon combination, but add in additional herbs, berries, or citrus to make it your own!
