Creating a vodka-based infusion is a truly unique way to enjoy your favorite flavors. Whether you are a lover of balsamic, spicy, sweet or fruity aromas you can give ample vent to all your creativity and gluttony. Get some colorful fruit candies and follow the simple steps of this guide, you will get a personalized and beautiful vodka to look at!
Ingrediants
- 1 liter of smooth vodka (50% alcohol).
- Colored fruit candies (choose 5 flavors and get 12 candies for each flavor) - you can buy a pack of mixed flavors.
- 1 bottle for every taste.
Steps
Step 1. Divide the candies
Separate the different flavors and I recommend not eating all the candies while dividing them!
Step 2. Pour the candies into the bottles
For each bottle it creates a different aroma. Discard the candies and drop them to the bottom.
Step 3. Add the vodka
Help yourself with a funnel and pour the same amount of vodka into each bottle. Fill them up to the neck and then plug them carefully.
Step 4. Let it sit
The candies will completely dissolve in a few hours (8 to 20) so set the bottles aside and wait.
Step 5. Store the vodka
If you want you can freeze the bottles to make your vodka more refreshing. Once added to your cocktails it will melt the ice. Make sure the candies are completely dissolved before placing the bottles in the freezer to avoid slowing down or interrupting the process. Freezing vodka is the best storage method.
The vodka will keep for a few months, but its flavor may change due to the evaporation of the alcohol
Advice
- Remember that if you use different containers, and different quantities of candy and liquid, the time it takes to complete the flavoring process will be different for each bottle. There may be a need to shake the bottles to help the candy melt (especially if you've added a lot of them).
- Try letting the bottles sit horizontally to speed up the process, especially if you're using a large container or if you've increased the amount of candy.
