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.
