Strawberry-Infused Vodka
Strawberry-infused vodka is so easy to make it tastes amazing. It's perfect on a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries fresh or frozen
- 30 oz vodka
Instructions
- Hull and chop the strawberries into chunks. Add them to a clean jar.
- Pour vodka over the strawberries. Add on a sealed lid and give the jar a bit of a shake. Place the jar in a place out of direct sunlight.
- For the next 3-4 days, store the vodka in a cool dark place and give the jar a little shake each day.
- After 3 days, taste the vodka, if infused to your liking it can be strained. If not, you can leave it up to a week to infuse it even more.
- Balance a clean cloth over a bowl and strain out the strawberries. You can use a fine mesh strainer to remove the berries too, but this makes a slightly less clear vodka.
- Pour the vodka into a clean bottle, one with an airtight seal.
- The strawberry vodka can last in a sealed bottle or jar for up to 12 months in a cool dark space. If your room temperature is very warm it's best stored in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Fresh or frozen strawberries both work well. Frozen are often better in cooler months since they're picked at peak ripeness.
- Use a glass jar for infusing, not plastic. Glass won't affect the taste.
- A mid-shelf vodka works best. You don't need anything expensive since the flavor will be infused.
- For a clearer vodka, strain through a coffee filter rather than just a regular strainer.
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months. If your room is warm, keep it in the fridge.
- Add lemon peel, vanilla seeds, or mint leaves to the infusion for extra flavor variations.
