I like to gift this colorful, cheery and easy recipe for delicious berry vodka in pretty bottles. It’s great served on ice, in little shot glass or in flutes with champagne for an alternative to Kir Royale.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raspberries
- 1 1/2 cup hulled strawberries
- 1 medium grated lemon zest
- 1 cup caster granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla pod halved
- 1 70cl bottle of vodka
Servings: 250ml bottles
Instructions
- Place the berries and the lemon zest with the sugar in a large metal bowl and crush with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the Vanilla pod, mix all and leave to rest and macerate for two hours, until the sugar has dissolved and the fruit has become juicy.
- Spoon the content of the bowl in to a large glass jar and cover with the vodka. Mix well and chill for at least one week in the fridge or up to a month.
- Staring the vodka through a fine sieve, decant into pretty sterilized bottles.
Recipe Notes
The Infused Vodka will keep for up to months in the fridge or 6 months in the freezer. Rose petals are a great addition to the berries and citrus as well.
