I had bought Vodka to make vanilla extract.
All I need was 1 cup so I had quite a lot Vodka left.
I remembered a recipe that I saw a while back so I wanted to give it a try
We are not much of a vodka drinker but we enjoyed this one
Cheers
Ingredients:100g sugar
600g frozen strawberries (removed from the freezer 5 minutes before use)
100g lemon juice
100g cold water
330g Vodka
Note: I used 50g of fresh lemon juice and 50g of fresh orange juice.Preparation: Pulverize sugar for 10 seconds on Speed 10.
Add strawberries and process for 30 seconds on Speed 10.
Add lemon juice, water and Vodka. Mix for 30 seconds on Speed 6.
Transfer into two 0.7 litre sterilised bottles. Store in the fridge.
Notes:This could be a nice gift to bring with you when you go to your friends.
Before use, remove the bottle from the fridge and shake it. After a couple of weeks strawberry and alcohol were quite separated. I put it back in TM Bowl and mixed for 10 seconds on Speed 6 before serving. I'd recommend you to do so when shaking is not enough.
Adapted with a few changes from the recipe titled as Vodka alla Fragola in the book named Cucinare a Modo Mio.
