Cranberry Lime Vodka

Vodka infused with cranberries and lime : great for making holiday cocktails for for giving away as a gift. It's incredibly easy to make, all you need is time to let it sit.

 

The vodka can be made in any quantity, you just need is a jar with a tight seal on it, vodka, cranberries (fresh or frozen), a lime, and some sugar.

 

First you take the cranberries and poke a hole in each one with a pin. It sounds labour intensive but its really not so bad. I watched tv while I poked holes in two big bags worth of cranberries.

Next, using a kife, cut chunks of lime peel off the lime and place them in your jar. Fill the jar up to the the top with cranberries.

 

You need to add sugar to cancel out the bitterness of the cranberries. You don't want to make the vodka sweet so add less than a 1/4 cup of sugar to begin with (less if you have a a small jar). Pour the vodka on top of the cranberry/lime/sugar mixture, seal the jar, and give it a good shake.

 

Give the jar a good shaking every day or two. After about a week taste the vodka to see if it needs more sugar (to get rid of any bitterness).

I let my vodka infuse for two weeks and I added sugar twice (just a few tablespoons each time).

 

To give away as gifts, pour the vodka into jars (its best to clean the jars in your dishwasher before hand and fill them right away) and tie a ribbon or a gift tag on it.

It makes amazing cran-tinis and also tastes great mixed with some club soda.

I have a few bags of cranberries sitting around and honestly had zero idea why. Now I know - they were meant to become a vodka drink!
