    This Plum Pudding Vodka brings the flavors of this classic Christmas dessert to your cocktails. Plum vodka is made by infusing the vodka with flavorful fruit, vanilla beans, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg. 

    Plum Pudding Vodka

    Do you like Plum Pudding? How about Vodka?  Well, have I got the treat for you - Plum Pudding Vodka!

    This little glass is bursting with Christmas aromas from vodka infused with dried fruits and spices.

    And you know what? It actually does taste like Plum Pudding!

    When I made this, my chief taste tester, otherwise known as my husband, drank up his small glass and declared "Wow, this has to go on the blog" before pouring himself another glass.

    Plum Pudding Vodka

    Even to a non Plum Pudding lover, like me, it's pretty delicious. It makes for a great cordial, or a fun mixer for Christmas cocktails.

    It would be wonderful to sip after Christmas dinner in lieu of dessert, or even serve it with a little square of Vanilla Tablet.

    You could also make a batch and give it to friends as an edible Christmas gift!

    Have you ever tried making your own Vodka infusions?  What are your favorite flavor combinations?

      When I saw the title I thought 'but you don't like plum pudding!'. I don't either but I do love the smell of it and I love vodka so looks like you're on a winner. I haven't made any infused vodkas myself but I was going to make limoncello this year (where did the year go?). I'll have to save it for next year.

      My parents and grandparents used to make something very similar with plums (called Sliwowica) or cherries but the best infused vodka I've ever had must have been a young (green) walnut vodka! Amazingly sweet and fragrant!
