Make that glass of vodka more fun with these infusions
Why have plain vodka when you can infuse it with your favourite flavours Infusions have been all the rage at the trendiest watering holes all over the world for a while now, but the infusions we’re talking about can be done right at home — and offer some very innovative flavours indeed! Here’s a primer:
Bacon-flavour Now this one is for adventurous tipplers. Fry some good cuts of bacon in a pan, take out the pieces on a plat and pour out the juices and fat in the pan into a bottle of your favourite vodka. Refrigerate overnight. The fat will rise and solidify at the top and you can just scoop it out to get rid of it and enjoy your bacon-flavoured vodka below. You can use this flavoured vodka in your cocktail preparations.
Carrots Freeze the skins of some carrots for about three years. Next, steep them in the vodka for up to two days. Strain out the peel and voila! You have some wonderful carrot-flavoured vodka ready.
Skittles That candy may be good on its own, but it’s even better with vodka. When planning your next party, separate a packet of Skittles into different colours and pop a few of each colour into a glass of vodka. Stir from time to time and in a few hours, you’ll have a wonderful, fun drink.
