Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Vodka
- 20 pieces Hard mint candies (e.g., peppermint or spearmint)
Instructions
1. Select a clean, sealable glass bottle or jar large enough to hold at least 750 ml of liquid.
2. Unwrap the 20 hard mint candies and place them into the bottle or jar.
3. Pour the 750 ml of vodka over the candies, ensuring they are fully submerged.
4. Seal the bottle or jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to start dissolving the candies.
5. Store the infusion at room temperature in a cool, dark place. Shake the bottle once or twice per day to help the candies dissolve evenly.
6. After 24-48 hours, check the vodka. Once the candies are fully dissolved and the liquid turns a uniform minty color, the infusion is ready.
7. Strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any undissolved candy residue, if necessary.
8. Transfer the infused vodka into a clean bottle and seal tightly. Store in the freezer for an extra-chilled experience or at room temperature for immediate use.
9. Serve as a base for cocktails, enjoy over ice, or mix with soda water for a refreshing drink.
