Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.

Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

Steps:

• For the salt-sugar rim on the glasses, pour 1/4 cup of the lemon juice in a shallow bowl. Combine the salt and sugar on a small plate. Dip the rim of the glasses first in the lemon juice and then dip them lightly in the salt-sugar mixture. Set aside to dry.
• Combine the vodka, the 1 cup of lemon juice, sugar syrup, and limoncello in a large pitcher. Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water and stir.
• Fill each glass with ice. Pour the cocktail mixture over the ice, garnish each drink with a slice of lemon, and serve ice cold.
