How To Infuse Vodka

Learn how to infuse vodka with fruit and other delicious flavorings. This is an easy way to impart so much flavor into a typically neutral spirit.

Here's what you'll need...

You'll Need:

– 25.4 ounce (750 ml) bottle of vodka – Infusions like fresh or dried herbs, fresh or dried fruits, vegetables, peppers, or candy.

Instructions:

Add 25.4 ounces (750 ml) of vodka to a mason jar or plastic deli container.

Instructions:

Next, add your infusions of choice to the vodka. It's really important that the additional infusion ingredients are completely covered by the vodka.

Instructions:

Cover the infusions with an airtight lid and place them in a room temperature, dark storage space. As long as the alcohol is covering the infusions, it will prevent mold from forming, even when stored at room temperature.

Instructions:

Each infusion needs to steep for various amounts of time. Some stronger flavors like citrus or peppers infuse quickly (24 hours or under), while others like dried herbs need a longer steeping time (7 - 14 days).

Instructions:

I'd suggest checking your vodka infusion every 12 hours (in the morning and at night) to taste the flavor. Since every ingredient will need a different amount of steeping time, it's best to check each infusion separately until you achieve a flavor you're happy with.

Instructions:

Once your infused vodka recipe has reached a flavor you're happy with, grab a mesh strainer to strain out the infusion ingredients.
