What weight of courgette please?

This year I had a glut of courgettes so made several litres of this mix (minus alcohol) & froze it in batches. I've just defrosted one batch & it still tastes great with the gin & vermouth.

Love this! A few years ago we had a 'courgette' dinner party after a glut.. with starter and main involving courgette, courgettes holding tea lights, and courgette cake or courgette ice cream... will now have to re-visit with courgette martini as an apertif to start!!!

I left my lemon juice and courgette for a few hours and produced enough courgette syrup for about 6 x martinis. Didn't use a cocktail shaker - just poured the ingredients over ice in a tall glass and enjoyed with friends!

This was a fantastic & different way to kick off a dinner party. I halved the required lemon (our lemons being quite large). Delicious!
