Blue Ice Vodka
Cooking Instructions
Infuse your choice of fruits in a mixture of simple sugar. Simple sugar is equal amounts of granulated sugar and water, brought to a boil, stirred to dissolve sugar, and cooled. Simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
Gently place ingredients in a 2-liter infusion jar. Add one 750ml bottle of Blue Ice® Vodka. Cover tightly.
Let the mixture infuse in the refrigerator according to each recipe's directions. You will need to infuse the fruit for 1-3 days, depending on the consistency of the fruit. If the fruit is extremely absorbent, (melons, oranges, pineapple, etc.) you will only need to let the fruit soak for 1-2 days. If it is not so absorbent or has the skin on, you may want to infuse it in the vodka a little longer.
The vodka will absorb the ingredients' flavors.
Taste once or twice during the infusion process to determine whether you prefer a stronger flavor. Add ingredients as desired. Should the fruit flavor be too intense, add more Blue Ice® Vodka.
Discard ingredients. (Loaded with alcohol, they are generally unpalatable. However, infused peppers and tomatoes can be cooked on the grill when barbecuing).
Serve the vodka infusion ice cold in a variety of glassware, including a martini, cordial, flute, wine or rocks glass or a brandy snifter. Serve hot mixtures in a mug.
