Shtokhome

Ok, its really called a Stolkhom, but I like saying SHTOKHOME.  Great cocktail for the winter months and especially for holiday parties because you can make a large batch and have people self serve. Got this from a The Art of the Bar cocktail book.

Vodka
Lemon juice
Simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water heated until sugar is dissolved, then allowed to chill) Love lemons as much as I do? Try adding the rind of a lemon to the syrup just after the sugar's melted and allow to steep for 20-30 minutes before straining.
Procsecco or Champagne

1 Drink
1.5 OZ Vodka
.75 OZ Lemon juice
.5 OZ simple syrup
combine above ingredients and pour over a glass filled with ice.  top with a splash or 2 of prosecco.



Skol!
