A bottle of vodka - don't think this is too extravagant please, a bottle of own brand supermarket vodka here is around 4 euros, which is just under £3.50 at today's rates, and the strawberries are free.
So to 1 bottle of vodka I added 700 grams of chopped strawberries and left them in a cool dark place, shook the jar every morning and evening, and today, only 2 days or so later, the strawberries are virtually white, the vodka is pink and it smells wonderful. And yes, we have had a little taste today, just a small one, and it tastes just like strawberries but with a bit of a kick.
I think the longer it is left to soak the better, although the strawberries look almost 'empty' there is probably still flavour in them and a few more days won't hurt. Then we can strain the mix, bottle it, chill it, and drink it.

Don't forget to eat the strawberries when you strain the vodka. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly try them, although I wasn't expecting there to be much flavour left, the colour has nearly gone already. Maybe the strawberries absorb some of the vodka flavour?? If so, we'll get strawberry vodka and vodka'd strawberries :)
