Caramel apple vodka (infused vodka recipe) (2024)

FAQs

How long does apple infused vodka last? ›

Add vodka to jar, making sure apple slices and cinnamon stick are completely covered with vodka. Seal jar. Store in cool, dark location for up to 6 months.

Vodka made with perishable items, like fresh fruit or herbs, should be stored in the fridge. If you used shelf-stable items like dried spices or dried fruit, the vodka can be stored at room temperature.

Wine and Vodka

It will give you the wildest hangover in your life, especially if you choose red wine. The tannins in red wine irritate your stomach and literally drain the water out of your organism. And the vodka acts pretty much the same, leaving you drunk, sick and dehydrated.

Distilled spirits don't go “bad” in the sense of becoming infected with bacteria, mold or otherwise spoiled they way food does. They can change flavor over time and if they're left in unsealed containers, the alcohol can evaporate, but they're always safe to drink.

Infusing involves steeping one or more ingredients in a distilled spirit to extract flavor. With its neutral taste, vodka is well suited to take on the flavors of various ingredients. While it's a simple process, infusing does take time (about 3 to 7 days).

Infused spirits are best enjoyed within three months, but they will never go bad. See our co*cktail recipes for ideas on how to use your infused alcohol. Fill your infusion kit to the top with the spirit of your choice. (Make sure to fill all the way to the rim of the jar for maximum infusion volume.)

As a good general rule, you should infuse your liquor for three to five days prior to serving it. However, there are exceptions. For example, if you are infusing your vodka with fruit, it is perfectly fine to let it sit in the fridge for a full week prior to serving.

As Chris does in the video, you can use a beverage server, but we find that Mason jars or other similar glass jars or sealable glass containers work best. Whatever you choose, make sure you have a really clean container– especially if you're reusing something like a pasta sauce jar.

Fruit juices like cranberry, pineapple, and pomegranate bring a burst of fruity sweetness to vodka co*cktails. These juices not only add a delightful flavor but also introduce vibrant colors to your drinks.

How do you make vodka more potent? ›

One handy trick for increasing the alcohol percentage of vodka, particularly if it's lower in alcohol content than 40 proof, is to apply a technique known as freeze distillation. This can be achieved by pouring the vodka in an open container, such as a bowl, and placing it in the freezer.

Is This Safe? Yes! The alcohol prevents any mold or other bacteria from growing on the fruit. Once strained, the vodka can be kept for years.

Gravity Straining: The simplest method is passing the liquid through a series of strainers, each finer than the last, using gravity alone. Agar Clarification: Agar, a gelatinous substance derived from seaweed, is combined with the co*cktail.

Not to be confused with flavored vodka, infused vodka is truly a work of art. This is another DIY option, but the difference lies in production, taste, and overall quality compared to flavored vodkas. The added flavors (usually fruit or herbs) are steeped in the vodka to allow for maximum impact.

Serve neat on ice as you would an Irish Cream Liqueur. Alternatively, try a vodka affogato, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a shot of espresso coffee.
