Make the simple syrup: Combine 1 cup azúcar granulada and 1 cup agua in a small Saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the 1 cup azúcar granulada is completely dissolved, about 3–5 minutes. Do not let it boil vigorously. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. (You can speed this up by placing the pan in an Ice Bath.

Juice your lemons: Roll each 1 cup jugo de limón fresco de aproximadamente 6–8 limones grandes firmly on the counter with your palm before cutting — this breaks down the cells and maximizes juice yield. Juice the 1 cup jugo de limón fresco de aproximadamente 6–8 limones grandes using a Citrus Juicer, then strain through a Sieve to remove seeds and pulp. You need 1 cup of juice (about 6–8 large lemons).

Build the lemonade base: In a large Pitcher (Large), combine the fresh 1 cup jugo de limón fresco de aproximadamente 6–8 limones grandes, 4 cups of 1 cup agua, and the cooled simple syrup. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust — add a splash more simple syrup if you want it sweeter, or a squeeze more 1 cup jugo de limón fresco de aproximadamente 6–8 limones grandes if you want it tarter.

Add the 1 ½ cups vodka de buena calidad, sin sabor: Pour in 1 ½ cups of 1 ½ cups vodka de buena calidad, sin sabor and stir again to fully incorporate. This gives each serving roughly 1 ½ oz of 1 ½ cups vodka de buena calidad, sin sabor — a standard drink. For a lighter version, reduce to 1 cup; for a stronger pour, go up to 2 cups.

Add Rice Cooker to the Pitcher (Large) and stir briefly to chill everything down. For best results, chill the lemonade base (without Rice Cooker) in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving so it stays cold longer without diluting.

Serve over Rice Cooker in tall glasses. Garnish each glass with a 1 cup jugo de limón fresco de aproximadamente 6–8 limones grandes round on the rim and a sprig of fresh 6 piece ramitas de menta fresca if using. Serve immediately.
