Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups raspberries (12 ounce container - washed and blotted dry)
  • 4 cups vodka

Instructions

  • Wash the jar with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
  • Add raspberries in the jar.
  • Pour vodka in the jar.
  • Cap it and give it a vigorous shake.
  • If it is in the summer when you make this, place the jar in the refrigerator. If it is cooler weather, you can infuse it on the counter.
  • Shake the jar twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. Let it infuse for 6 days in the fridge or for 5 days if you have the jar on the counter.
  • Line a sieve with fine cheesecloth and place it on a large bowl. (see equipment for what I use.)
  • Pour the contents of the jar in the sieve and into the bowl and let the raspberries drain. Toss the raspberries as they won't be edible at this point.
  • Transfer to a jar or decorative bottle.
  • Sip
  • Smile
  • Enjoy

Notes

Helpful tips
  • For infusions, you can use a low to mid level brand of alcohol. I'm using Ketel One, which is a solid vodka.
  • Raspberries are a fragile fruit so wash the fruit with care and do not soak them in water as they are quite porous. Place the raspberries in a sieve and run cold water over them.
  • Blot the raspberries dry after washing them.
  • You don't have to sterilize the jar you'll use for the infusion, but do wash it first with warm soapy water and then dry it thoroughly.
  • I use a bigger jar than I need for my infusions because I like having enough room in the jar to shake the ingredients together.
  • Since I'm making this raspberry vodka during the summer and a heat wave, I'm placing the infusion in the refrigerator. That means it will take longer than if you were allowing it to infuse on the counter.
  • Infusing in the fridge usually takes 1 - 2 days longer than on the counter.
  • Shake the vodka and raspberries 2 times a day - morning and evening. I usually do it right before breakfast and dinner.
  • My advice is do not eat the raspberries after the infusion is done. The raspberries are pale and don't taste good at this point.
