Lavender-Rosemary Infused Vodka

By , About.com Guide

Lavender and rosemary are my two favorite herbs, there are no herbs like either of them. What can be better than combining those two flavors in a new, homemade vodka? The finished infused vodka adds a floral touch to a Vodka Martini and makes an ultra refreshing Vodka Tonic. You can also use it as the vodka for a Mary Rose Martini or Tea Tini.

Ingredients:

  • 750ml bottle of premium vodka
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 2 sprig of lavender
  • infusion jar with tight sealing lid

Preparation:

  1. Rinse the herbs and place them a clean mason jar or similar jar with a tight sealing lid.
  2. Pour the vodka over the herbs and shake a few times.
  3. Seal the lid tight and store the jar in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days.
  4. Test the flavor of the infusion everyday, beginning on the second day.
  5. Once the lavender and rosemary flavor is to taste, strain the herbs from the vodka using a fine strainer or coffee filter.
  6. Wash the jar and return the flavored vodka to it.
  7. Store as you do other vodka.
