Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Vodka
- 1 cup (adjust based on ingredient and intensity) Flavoring ingredient(s) (e.g., berries, citrus peel, herbs, spices, or vanilla beans)
- 1 count Glass jar or bottle with a tight-sealing lid
Instructions
1. Choose your flavoring ingredient(s) based on your desired taste profile. Examples: berries (e.g., strawberries or raspberries), citrus peels (e.g., lemon, lime, or orange), fresh herbs (e.g., mint or basil), spices (e.g., cinnamon sticks or cloves), or vanilla beans.
2. Wash and prepare the flavoring ingredients. For fruits, rinse and slice them. For herbs, gently bruise them to release their oils. For spices, lightly toast them if desired for a deeper flavor.
3. Add the prepared flavoring ingredient(s) to the glass jar or bottle. Use approximately 1 cup of ingredients for every 750 ml of vodka, adjusting based on ingredient intensity.
4. Pour the vodka over the flavoring ingredient(s) until they are fully submerged.
5. Seal the jar or bottle tightly with a lid and give it a gentle shake to distribute the ingredients.
6. Store the jar or bottle in a cool, dark place for 3 to 7 days. Shake it gently once a day to encourage infusion.
7. Taste the vodka after 3 days. If it's reached your desired flavor strength, proceed to the next step. If not, allow it to continue infusing and check daily.
8. Once the vodka is infused to your liking, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar to remove the solids.
9. Seal the finished flavored vodka and store it in the refrigerator or freezer. It can be enjoyed as part of a cocktail or on its own.
