Monthly Cocktail

 

I have been infusing vodkas for some time now and LOVE the results.  Not only do they make excellent gifts but they look beautiful as well.  I have used Jolly Rachers, Skittles and fresh friut just to name a few ingredients that have added WOW to my cocktails.

This month, let's take advantage of this beautiful winter fruit, the Blood Red Orange ~ enjoy!

Blood Red Orange-Infused Vodka

Ingredients:
Your favorite Vodka 750ml bottle
4-6 Fresh blood red oranges
Glass jars with lids

Directions:
Thinly slice the oranges and place them in the jar(s). Fill with Vodka and seal with lid. Gentle shake it. Let it steep for one to seven days. This is the fun part, you need to taste it every day to decide the favor intensity you desire. Then strain out the oranges. Bottle up in your original vodka bottle.
