Description

A great way to add some extra Christmas flavors to a bottle of vodka.


Ingredients

  • 1 bag of cranberries
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tbs of sugar
  • Vodka

Instructions

  1. Peel the rind of the lime.
  2. Poke a hole in each cranberry (I used one prong of a fork).
  3. Drop each cranberry into your empty bottle or jar. Drop pieces of lime rind alternatively throughout the layers of cranberry.
  4. Add the sugar.
  5. Using a funnel fill the bottle with as much vodka as can fit. Seal the top of the bottle/jar. Leave in a dark place for 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does each cranberry need to be pierced before going into the bottle?

Poke a hole in each cranberry using one prong of a fork. This breaks the skin so the cranberry’s juice and flavor can infuse into the vodka during the 7-day steeping period — whole unbroken cranberries would contribute much less flavor.

How long does the infusion need to steep before it is ready?

Seal the bottle or jar and leave it in a dark place for 7 days. No stirring or shaking is mentioned during this period — just patience.
