Plan ahead for the party if you want to make this. It's from Giada De Laurentiis and sounds really good. Toast anyone?

  • 2
    Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the limes in long strips (reserve the limes for another use).

    Stir the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely, then stir in the vodka mixture.
  • 5
    Strain the liquids into bottles, pressing on the peels to extract as much liquid as possible. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
