Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a clean glass jar or bottle, combine the vodka and simple syrup. This will form the base for your liqueur.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    To the base, add the fresh mint leaves, lemon zest, sliced strawberries, and split vanilla bean. Stir gently to combine.

Infusing

  1. 3

    Infuse the Mixture

    Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 5 days, shaking it gently every day to help release the flavors.

Straining and Storing

  1. 4

    Strain the Liqueur

    After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the solids.

  2. 5

    Dilute if Necessary

    If desired, mix in the water and food-grade alcohol to adjust the proof and flavor of the liqueur. Stir well to combine.

  3. 6

    Bottle and Label

    Transfer the final liqueur into a clean bottle, seal it tightly, and label it with the flavor and date of preparation.
