Wash and peel the lemons in large strips using a y-peeler, taking particular care to leave ALL the bitter white pith behind
Reserve 1 lemon peel for each cocktail and place all the remaining peels in a small pot with the sunflower oil
Warm the oil on the lowest heat possible occasionally swirling the pan for 15 minutes. Do not boil!
Turn off the heat, cover and let it steep until reaching room temperature. Strain out the peels and store the oil in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to three weeks
