Flavored Vodka

1. 1

   All you do is take 3 to 4 cups (950 ml) of fruit, the peel of a lemon or lime (I use a stripper and get nice long curls of it) which helps draw the flavors out of the fruit.

2. 2

   Put them in a gallon sized jar (I use a nice glass one so I can watch the progress) and cover with about 1.75 liters of fairly inexpensive vodka.

3. 3

   Place the lid on and let them sit, turning the jar every day when you pass by, for about 3 to 4 weeks.

4. 4

   Then strain out the berries with cheesecloth and bottle the vodka.

5. 5

   It can be stored at room temperature, or in the freezer.

6. 6

   It's great for making Raspberry Lime Rickies (vodka, club soda, ice and a lime wedge) in the summer!
