Infused vodka
From Burden's Landing
Many moons ago, Mom made this pomegranate vodka that was out-of-sight. Inspired by this, for Christmas 2008, I decided to make some infused vodkas as gifts. I bought some bottles from Cost Plus for packaging, and I used an old 1.5 liter rum bottle for doing the infusion.
Mom uses Stoli, so I used that as well. There was a thread on Chowhound on the topic, but it was inconclusive.
Lime-Ginger Vodka
- 750 mL vodka (Stoli 80 proof)
- 2 limes
- ginger
I based this recipe on a blog post I found. Zest the limes. Slice the flesh and remove the pith. Place the zest, flesh, and ginger in a jar with the vodka. Keep in a dark place for a few weeks, stirring occasionally. Filter and bottle.
