Notes

Helpful tips
  • Nowadays, you can find strawberries year round. This means you can make strawberry infused vodka whenever you want, unlike cherry infused vodka, which you can only make a few months of the year, thanks to the cherry’s short growing season.
  • Always wash strawberries well because they are among the ten fruits with the highest pesticide levels. It's especially important because you are going muddle a strawberry in the shaker as well as using a few as garnish.
  • Don’t soak them as strawberries easily absorb water, which dilutes their flavor and sweetness.
  • To wash, remove the leaves with a strawberry huller or core them out with a knife leaving as much fruit as possible. Then put them in a colander or sieve; run water over them; take them in your hands and gently rub each one with your fingers to make sure you clean it.
  •  
  • After they are completely washed, place them on a paper towel and dry them off or let them air dry for several minutes.
  • If you don't have time to make strawberry vodka, you can buy it from a liquor store but you are surely missing out. So try to make the time.
