Mint Vodka
Mint is the queen of cool, a microcosm of refreshment.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle high-quality vodka
- 1 bunch fresh mint
Instructions
- Open the bottle and drink 2 shots of vodka to make space for the mint. Shake mint to remove any bugs or dirt. Insert the mint sprigs individually into the vodka bottle. Store in a cupboard for 24 hours; the vodka will turn brown-ish but will keep indefinitely. No need to strain.
- Use mint vodka to make mintinis or double mint mojitos.
- Infused vodka can also be made with different varieties of mint, lemon verbena, jasmine flowers, rose petals, lemon grass or fennel leaves.
