Ever tried experimenting with liquor infusions at home? If your answer is no, you’re missing all the fun! Homemade infusions are absolutely fun, and vodka is the ideal base for any flavor. Plus, cocktails at home in your pajamas or overalls or nightgowns are amazing.
Here are a few ideas you can try!
Strawberry Vodka
Sweet strawberries and vodka, whatever could go wrong? And it’s very easy to make. Wash and remove the stems of the strawberries and cut them into two or three slices. Add the berries to a wide-mouthed infusion jar and fill with vodka. You can also add 2 tablespoons of simple syrup. Shake well and store in a cool, dark place. Give the jar a shake once or twice a day for 1-2 weeks and you’re good to go! Of course, strawberry isn’t the only option. You can go with other berries – raspberries or blueberries!
Apple-Pear Cinnamon Vodka
This one will easily be one of your favorites! Just repeat the steps above but about one day prior to it reaching your ideal fruit flavor, add a cinnamon stick, seal, and shake again. Allow it to set for one more day and taste the spiced tonic.
Cucumber Vodka
You’ve heard of cucumber lemonade, now try the vodka! Chopped cucumber, vodka, and a bit of time for the flavor to blend is all it takes. Repeat the steps above (yes, again), but for this, let the jar sit in a cool, dark space for at least three days and up to two weeks. Don’t go beyond two weeks or else it will turn slightly bitter! Here’s a pro tip: you can also mint sprigs and basil leaves!
With infused vodkas, sky’s the limit! You can experiment with other fruits and flavor combinations. If you’re looking for high-quality vodka, Rockville Centre Wine & Spirits is your go-to!
