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.

‍

*Lemon Oleo 

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. 
  5. Oleo syrup will keep in airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.
