I Have Been Making Flavored Vodka with Raspberries and Blackberries.

Ingredients

  • All you do is take 3 to 4 cups of fruit, the peel of a lemon or
  • lime (I use a stripper and get nice long curls of it) which helps
  • draw the flavors out of the fruit. Put them in a gallon sized jar
  • (I use a nice glass one so I can watch the progress) and cover with
  • about 1.75 liters of fairly inexpensive vodka. Place the lid on
  • and let them sit, turning the jar every day when you pass by, for
  • about 3 to 4 weeks.

Instructions

You can use any kind of fruit, but this is what I have tried so. far.. Then strain out the berries with cheesecloth and bottle the vodka. It can be stored at room temperature, or in the freezer. It's great for making Raspberry Lime Rickies (vodka, club soda, ice and a lime wedge) in the summer! I think I am going to keep making these all through the fall with other kinds of fruits. Meyer lemons would be great if I could find some. Well, I hope others might try this! I used to hate drinking vodka, but now it's pretty neat! For something really interesting, try the berries after you've strained them out, they pack QUITE a wallop! (I was doing this at 10 in the am so I had to watch it!!)
