Grilled Lemonade
Grilled Lemonade was brought to you by Kingsford®.
This recipe was created by Marcus Wang, Kingsford® R&D Scientist. Grilled lemons are the secret to this summertime drink.
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 150 min
Servings: 1 16 ounce pitcher
Ingredients
- 6 pounds of lemons (about 16 lemons)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 rosemary sprigs (optional)
- 1 cup Four Roses Bourbon*
- Ice
Preparation
- Cut the lemons in half and dip the cut half in sugar. Set aside on a tray to be grilled.
- Combine water, sugar and honey in a saucepan or disposable aluminum tray. Add a couple sprigs of rosemary (optional but delicious) to the saucepan.
- Heat up a grill with Kingsford® charcoal for medium-high heat. For additional rosemary flavor, throw a handful of rosemary sprigs on the hot coals just prior to grilling.
- Grill the lemons cut-side down until nice grill marks appear (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the lemons and set aside to cool.
- While grilling the lemons, place the saucepan with honey syrup on the grill. Heat the syrup until sugar and honey are fully dissolved and the desired amount of rosemary flavor has been infused into the syrup.
- When lemons are cool, squeeze the juice into a pitcher. Since they’ve been grilled, they should be easy to squeeze by hand. Add syrup and water to taste, Four Roses Bourbon and ice. Stir well and serve.
- *Four Roses Yellow Label 80 Proof, Four Roses Single Barrel 100 Proof or Four Roses Small Batch 90 Proof
