Berry-Infused Vodka

Method

Berry-Infused Vodka

  1. 1

    Prepare the Berries

    Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Vodka

    In a clean glass jar, combine the vodka, washed mixed berries, and sugar. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to mix.

  3. 3

    Let it Sit

    Allow the vodka to infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours. For a stronger flavor, let it infuse for up to a week.

  4. 4

    Strain the Vodka

    After the infusion period, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the berries.

Lemonade

  1. 5

    Juice the Lemons

    Roll the lemons on a hard surface to soften them. Cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer, discarding any seeds.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Lemonade Base

    In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, water, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  3. 7

    Chill the Lemonade

    Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Mix the Drink

    In a glass filled with ice, pour 50 ml of the berry-infused vodka and top with 150 ml of the lemonade. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 9

    Add Garnish

    Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass.

  3. 10
