Homemade Infused Liquor

Homemade Infused Liquor

Directions

Infusing Liquor is a relatively easy process, but can take awhile.

You just soak whatever flavor you want in the Liquor you want at room temperature.

For Citron Vodka (Lemon Flavored Vodka) used in the Lemon Drop Martini and Cosmopolitan, you would let Lemon Peels soak in Vodka for around 2 to 3 Days.

For the Earl Grey Gin used in the Earl Grey MarTeani, you would let a Tea Bag soak in Gin for a couple hours.

You can do the same thing with Cucumbers or Orange Peels.
