We're getting ready for keith's parents! They are coming for a visit on Friday and staying through Monday. It's always fun when they visit - and we always have at least one night in with food, drinks and games. So in anticipation of their visit, I decided to work on some home-infusions of vodka.
I re-purposed the Svedka vodka bottle for the cucumber infusion (well, really I just had a half bottle of vodka and I shoved cucumber into it!). The mason jar is filled with layers of fresh pineapple, strawberries and blueberries. Should be delicious!! And keith can't wait to eat the fruit - he'll be the drunkest. :)
It looks too beautiful to drink lol. But actually, I have a question. What do you do with infused vodka and the fruit?
ReplyDeleteDo you drink the vodka and eat the fruit? Like a sangria?
The fruit - in most cases I would likely leave it in the bottle until the vodka was gone and then toss it. You COULD muddle it in drinks though, that would be a good way to use it. However eating it would be rough - the fruit will have little of their actual flavor left, and will be VERY heavy in vodka flavor.
ReplyDeleteThe vodka - makes a great martini, or a great addition to cocktails (for instance the fruit vodka would likely go great in a version of a Cosmo, or even just mixed with soda water).
