    Ever wondered how to make Strawberry Infused Vodka? It's easy! All you need to make your own homemade strawberry vodka are a few ingredients and a couple of days.

    The best gifts come from the heart, or so they say. But I think the best gifts come from the kitchen.

    Imagine giving the gift of this gorgeous red hued Strawberry Vodka. It's pretty, delicious, and this Strawberry Vodka is sure to make even the biggest Scrooge merry.

    And thanks to the beautiful strawberries it smells absolutely amazing!!

    If you've ever wondered how to make strawberry infused vodka, well, it couldn't be simpler. It only involves a couple of ingredients and the teensiest bit of effort for a delicious flavored vodka.

    The quality of vodka you use for an infused vodka is important. As when cooking with wine, only use a vodka you enjoy drinking.

    For the best results use a vodka with a proof of 80 or above, as the aromatics of the fruit are drawn out due to the alcohol, so the higher the proof the more flavored and aromatic the resulting flavored vodka will be.

    However with a higher proof, the taste of the vodka can be more harsh so find a happy medium. I like a smooth vodka, so I went with Grey Goose, which has a proof of 80, but you can use whatever you like.

    You can also add your own personal touches to the vodka by adding your own flavorings.

    Why not try adding a vanilla bean for strawberry vanilla vodka. You could also try using different fruits such as cherries, blueberries and raspberries.

    You could even try adding peaches, plums or slices of orange, lemon or lime. Or, for something a little more festive, why not check out the Plum Pudding Vodka I made last year.

    Serve the Strawberry Vodka chilled over ice, or mixed into some club soda for a refreshing cocktail.

      Many, many years ago, when I was young, I made a flavoured vodka after reading an article in a cool magazine. Would you believe I used Mars bars?! Your strawberry vodka is much more sophisticated! Just the thing for a summer Christmas.

      This sounds delicious. When you say to seal the bottles,are you referring to canning technique?

        Hi Shelia, the bottles just need to be well sealed, perhaps with an airtight stopper.

          Its best to remove the strawberries. After a few days they will become pale and lose their favourite anyway as it is infused into the vodka. Enjoy 😀

        Hi Kate, if you place the vodka into sterilised bottles and refrigerate it should last around 6 months.

        Hi Jan, the strawberries will have no flavour after this process (you will notice they will be very pale, almost white) so discard them.

      Can you use regular sugar instead if you don't have superfine sugar.

        Regular sugar should be fine Heide, you might just need to shake it a bit longer to dissolve though. Let me know how it turns out 🙂

        If you add cream you would need to use the vodka within a couple of days. I'd leave adding the cream until you are ready to serve it. 🙂
