How do I flavor liquor?!
Answers: In particular white or light liquors. Perhaps infuse a vodka with cucumber or a rum with some fresh peaches. How long would it take? Thanks
Infusing liquor is quite simple...you just have to add whatever you want to flavor it with and keep it sealed and out of direct sunlight. I'd recommend covering it in a brown paper bag.
this is interesting I hope you find out with vinegar it's a few weeks
I like adding Jolly Rancher candies to a bottle of Vodka. Pick out all of the candies of the same flavor and drop them in the bottle, or just add a different flavor candy to every shot you take.
You can flavour vodka with lemon or bison grass for Zubrówka if you can get it somewhere.
Lemon-Infused Vodka:
Ingredients
4 lemons
1 litre vodka
1 cup sugar (optional)
Prepare the lemons by briefly dropping them in boiling water, then rinse. Zest all the lemons. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon.
Place the lemon juice, zest and vodka in an airtight container. Seal and set aside at room temperature for 1 week.
Filter the vodka through cheese cloth. Pour into serving bottle. Ready to serve.
Optional: For a sweetened version, add the sugar to the zest and lemon juice mix. Add vodka and steep for 2-3 weeks in airtight container before filtering and serving.
In the cases of fruit I would let it set at least a day. I knew guys who would poke a hole on the end of a watermelon, screw a tip on a bottle of vodka, and drive the tip into the hole, after about a day the bottle would be empty, the watermelon had soaked up the drink, and now every slice--which was already juicy--would be now be laced with liquor.
Grendine, bitters, and additives like these flavor drinks but wouldn't require any setting. also some fruity wines can be used to flavor liquors. Experimenting will lead to some nice discoveries.
