What is the ratio for infused vodka? ›

Generally, it is best to use 1 cup of fruits or vegetables for every 3 cups of vodka. However, for whole herbs and spices, it would be best to adhere to a ratio of 2-to-3. (For example, for every 2 sprigs of rosemary or 2 sticks of cinnamon, use 3 cups of vodka.)

Store in cool, dark location for up to 6 months.

What Are Vodka Infusions? Simply put, vodka infusions are when you take vodka and infuse it with flavor. The process requires adding natural ingredients to a container along with the vodka and letting it sit, at least overnight.

Stir or lightly shake jar daily to release flavor. Infusion is ready when vodka deepens in color and flavor is to your liking. Pour infusion into a serving container, if desired, and serve immediately. If storing, strain though a fine-mesh sieve and refrigerate for up to 1 month.

However, you may only want to infuse your vodka for 10 to 24 hours if you are using jalapenos or other spicy ingredients. If you are using fruit to infuse your liquor, it is perfectly fine to infuse your beverage for a full week.

Keep it Sealed: Always ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use. Avoid Sunlight and Heat: Store the bottle in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration for Some Types: If the flavored vodka contains perishable ingredients, like fresh fruit, refrigeration may be recommended.

Infused spirits are best enjoyed within three months, but they will never go bad. See our co*cktail recipes for ideas on how to use your infused alcohol. Fill your infusion kit to the top with the spirit of your choice. (Make sure to fill all the way to the rim of the jar for maximum infusion volume.)

Now, you might be wondering, “Does infused vodka have less alcohol?”. The answer is no. The infusion process does not remove any alcohol, only adds flavor. There's really no downside to infused Vodka!

Not to be confused with flavored vodka, infused vodka is truly a work of art. This is another DIY option, but the difference lies in production, taste, and overall quality compared to flavored vodkas. The added flavors (usually fruit or herbs) are steeped in the vodka to allow for maximum impact.

Select Your Vodka

You can use either 80-proof or 100-proof vodka to make fruit-flavored vodkas. 100-proof vodka will do a better job extracting the fruit flavor, but some find the taste of the100-proof to be a little raw in co*cktails.

Infuse for 3 to 5 days: Shake the jar of fruit and vodka daily. You'll see the vodka gradually take on the color of the fruit. Taste it after 3 days and continue infusing to your liking. Most fruit vodkas are finished in 3 to 5 days, but you can continue infusing the vodka for longer.

Soda Water

Soda water is simplistic, realistic and straightforward. It's great for the people who prefer the vodka flavour shining through, over a fruit juice. Soda water has no distinct flavor, so it's great for diluting your vodka, without messing with any of its flavors.

Our recommended ratio is one-part vodka to three-part tonic water. Step Three: Garnish with a sprig of lemon thyme or a curl of lemon peel and enjoy.

This simple drink is pretty, delicious, and super simple! The screwdriver is a classic co*cktail perfect for brunch or casual get-togethers. It's super easy to make with just two ingredients: vodka and orange juice. I like to use a ratio of 2 parts vodka to 3 parts orange juice for a balanced flavor.

Use two cups chopped fruit + two to three cups vodka, and infused for three to five days. Make sure the vodka covers the fruit to prevent it from spoiling during infusion.
