1 C. water

2 T. sugar

1 T. honey

Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Zest and juice of 1/2 lime

12 leaves lemon verbena

2 1/2 ounces citrus rum or citrus vodka

Verbena leaves, for garnish

 

In a large pot, add wine, water, sugar, honey and the lemon and lime zest and juice and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add verbena leaves and steep at least 12 hours. This makes enough verbena syrup for 25 drinks. For 1 verbena martini, mix 1 ounce of the verbena syrup with the citrus rum or citrus vodka. Shake and strain into martini glass. Use extra verbena leaves for garnish.
