Cranberry Infused Vodka

I’ve never been the one to enjoy flavored vodkas, that is, until I started infusing my own, and then I was ALL over vodka.  

I recently taught my first cocktail class where I instructed a group of ladies how to make three cocktails. Each had their own cocktail shaker, jigger and essential tools. I would give the background of the cocktail then show them the process of how to make the cocktail. Talk about fun! 

Make your own cocktails!

The ladies were more than willing to jump in and create their own cocktail – I’m all about hands on. The topic of flavored vodka came up with each having their own favorite – coconut, peach and cucumber. 

This is when I just had to jump in and share with them how super easy it is to make infused vodka at home! 

First off, it’s easy!  Second, it makes for great gifts.  Third, it can be made with the season, and last, but not least, you know exactly what is in you vodka – nothing artificial, no hard to pronounce words on the back of the bottle –yuck!

This cranberry infused vodka is a fun hostess gift for the holiday or homemade gift, and just the right way to dip your feet into the world of infusing.  Trust me, once you do it and taste the difference, you will be hooked!  

Plan ahead if you want to give this cranberry infused vodka as a gift – it will take a week to fully develop.  The longer you let your infused vodka rest, the stronger and more aromatic the flavor, so be patient.  It will be worth it!
