This is not a quick fix or anything of the sort, so those who have that certain gene of impatience may find this difficult. Those who are able to wait a little while will really enjoy a nice suprise.
Recipe #1
Take a bottle of Smirnoff or absolute 750 ml or higher. More is slightly better. Pour yourself a nice drink of watever you want… But pout only about a cup’s worth. YOu’ll need the room in the rest of the bottle. Take a full pint of raspberries and put them in the bottle with the vodka. All of them. Take cap off the bottle and place in microwave or heat on range in about an inch of water. In Microwave it takes roughly 5 minutes. Do not bring the liquid to a boil. Place cap immedately back on the bottle the the berries. And place in your cupboard for 5 days.
When done the berries should be white. And the vodka slightly pink. Use for Martini’s, sipping over rocks, or add a favourite mixer. I personally take it Neat, and thats perfect.
Oh yeah drain the berries out of the vodka as well. Very good summer time drink.
Recipe #2 (much more dangerous)
Get a gallon Pickle Jar or glass container, Sun Tea container work perfect and thats what we use because it has a spicate on the bottom. Go and get the biggest bottle of Absolute Citron you can find. Pour entire contents into jug. Cut three lemons and three limes, pour one cup sugar into mixture. Fill rest with ice. Wrap in towel and shake. Shake some more and still keep on shake’in.
If at a party give it to everyone to shake for a minute. When done after about 30 minutes. Pour yourself a nice glass of Lemon Snapple. It tastes almost exactly like lemon snapple. Absolutely no taste of alcohol whatsoever. Unbelievably good! Diclaimer do not drive after partaking of the alcohol. Dipsomaniacle tendencies may cause harm to others. Sottish behaviour is addictive. These are recipes for parties and outings mainly, user dicretion is advised…
No, but when tempted with the taste of nuts n’ honey sometimes it’s tough to say no. I was tempted to post whilst buzzed, but I’ve seen what happens to people who do that, and it ain’t pretty. this is just a fun way to have some fun with friends. I did the second recipe a few years back at a jimmy buffet concert. I even partook of the weed that day (how can you not at a JB concert) I was in deep trouble on the wife front after that though, so we’ve not done the second in quite a while.
This one requires planning in advance, but I’ve heard it is good.
Get a bottle of vodka (you’d want the higher-quality stuff, but then… when don’t you?). Open the vodka, put in a lifesaver or two, and put the cap back on the bottle. Let the bottle sit for a while (weeks, months?). Then drink. The vodka will taste like the lifesaver, taking off the edge and making it easy to drink. Keep in mind you’re still drinking pure vodka though, go easy.
I’ve done this one before. You’ll need more than one or two Lifesavers, however. We threw about 4 or 5 packets of musk flavoured Lifesavers. After a few days, the vodka was bright pink, sweet and ever so shootable. There was a bit of Lifesaver sediment at the bottom of the bottle, but that was equally tasty.
(For the foreigners, Lifesavers are an Australian brand of small, hard candies.)
Incidentally, there’s a few pubs around here that have similar concoctions – they call 'em “vodka infusions” – behind the bar. I’ve seen vodka infused with chocolate bars, butterscotch, mint, fruit, etc – basically, anything sweet and soluble.
Damn, I wish I was witty when it came to hard candy jokes, I just have to say what I have to say.
Lifesavers are an American brand you guys get, like most of them. Musk, however, is a uniquely Australian flavor, although it may be made in other countries as well.
