Iz,

The glass jar was purchased at a Charleston home store some 11 years ago. Sorry I can't remember the name but I can say the DW and I searched all over for them. We filled them with pastas, beans, oils and vinegars for decoration on top of our cabinets. 9ft ceilings made that easy to do. Just no 9ft ceiling anymore so I use them for edible foods now.

Check libbey glass on line for a selection of glass jars.

As far as proportions go....I try to use at least 15 lemons per litre. This batch is about 8 shy but I grabbed the last 3 bags of lemons and the loose ones were almost a buck each so....... I gotta head back tomorrow for more when they get their truck in.

Simple syrup is 1:1 sugar to water and then it's around 2:1 Liquor to simple syrup.

As far as the pics go......I use the insert image icon (right next to the quote bubble icon in the toolbar for the post reply and I link to a page (another site I use) to upload photos to. Haven't been able to figure out how to link them to the pic post here on CT....Yet.

D, Cooooorrrrrrrnnnnn Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez'ns? Yeeeeee hawwww. That stuff'll make ya blind! Kinda tryin' to cut back on the lead here ya know all those window sills we chewed up and toys we put in our mouths as kids had enough. Them old radiaters they use have a little bit or so.
