Strawberry Vodka
Strawberry Vodka! Now that sounds spectacular!
This little gem was making its way around Twitter about 2 weeks ago.
I first spotted it on David Lebovitz’s blog ~ living the sweet life in Paris.
I knew immediately I had to try it.
I followed the same direction as David, letting mine sit for 5 days.
You will need a 2 pound clamshell of berries, 2 large jars and one 750 ml bottle of vodka.
I admit I grabbed the Absolut Vodka strictly for the nice clean bottle.
Now that I have tasted the finished product I do not think the type of vodka will affect the final flavor.
The strawberries are very pale so it is time to strain the fruit from the alcohol.
I used coffee filters to get a nice clean finished vodka.
Straight is nice on ice though I prefer it mixed with a splash of Club Soda.
The touch of sweetness from say 7 Up would be a nice addition.
The strawberry flavor is very prominent and it has a nice smooth finish.

lol Alan!
Ellen was the photographer for the cookbook shoot, I was referencing her *touch* of garnish for the drink!
I will have to look for that Firefly Vodka next time I am at the store.
This strawberry vodka is very good, much better then I had antisipated, it really took on all the qualities of the fresh berries!
If you have some extra stawberries give it a try, you will not be disappointed!
Thanks for stopping by!
Looks awesome! needed some of that on the cruise 🙂 Have you tried Firefly Iced Tea Vodka or Lemonade? It’s great too!
I’ll do without the Ellen touch…that’s the ex’s name and I’ve had enough of that name for 2 lifetimes! lol 😉
Funny now that I have my this recipe, I seen another for a blueberry infusion!
I bet cherry will be fantastic!
Have fun experimenting!
I’m going to experiment with some fruit vodkas when I’m back home. Cherries would be great I think. Like the step by step photos.
Hey Sue!!!
It is fantastic!
So much better then I had expected.
I can see this bottle not lasting too long.
If you like strawberries, give it a whirl!
You could use it in a lot of different applications!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
You defintely need to try iy Kyle!
The worst part is straining it, use a colander if you have one and strain it into a big pot first.
It is so smooth, I am plesantly surprised at how good it is!
Thanks for stopping by!
Looks awesome!!
I’m sold! Seriously I am going to attempt at putting this together for next weekend. I have been looking for a new drink.
