Get your cocktail on baby! If you like strawberries and vodka, this post is aimed right atcha! Strawberry season is here in ENC and I picked berries at 903 this past weekend. After I canned my preserves I tried my hand at infusing vodka. Amazing results. Made me feel like a kitchen artist. So, go on and do it, ’cause I’m gonna share cocktail recipes next.

PS…shelf life on the infused vodka is 6 + months. WOW!What you need:
Quart size canning jar
30 + strawberries, rinsed and dried
1/4 cup sugar
Mild vodka (I use Tito’s)

Rinse the jar well and dry it.
Remove stem from berries and quarter them.
Fill jar to top with berries.
Add sugar.
Fill jar with vodka.
Cover with lid.
Shake.
When berries turn pink, about 2 days, strain vodka and save.
Toss berries out.
If you like a stronger strawberry flavor, repeat the process.
