Here is the first thing we did with our bulk of Strawberries – Strawberry Infused Vodka – we think we got our priority right, don’t you?! Another reason for doing this first is that you need to use perfectly ripe strawberries with no imperfections.
Massive thanks go to David Lebovitz blog where we found this great idea and how to.
We’ve yet to strain it and enjoy – can see myself already sipping this on warm summers evening in the summer-house.
Select your perfectly ripe strawberries cut into halves or quarters – depending on size.
Put into an airtight container – such as a Kilner Jar.
Poor in vodka and put in a dark cupboard for a few days. Turn/swirl every now and then – but do not shake.
Then after about 3 to 7 days, strain with a muslin cloth. We are leaving ours for the full 7 days to get as much of the flavour as possible. I believe that if you want the vodka really clear then it’s also best to strain it again through a coffee filter.
Then store in a bottle and enjoy. It can then be kept in the fridge of freeze – whichever you prefer.
Oh sounds yummy. I’m assuming you can use other kinds of fruit or possibly other spirits if you so wished?
Thanks and I believe so, haven’t tried yet, but we have a raspberry bush as so hopefully if we get a good crop this summer it’ll be raspberry vodka all round.
We have raspberries too, fantastic idea! Jamie Oliver does a thing with vodka and watermelon, fills the melon with it.
A colleague said they’ve done the vodka watermelon and it was amazing – so definitely one to try. My start buying shares in Vodka! lol
