    This recipe is intended for those aged 21 and up in the US. Also, check out my strawberry rhubarb-infused vodka. Just another layer of summer fresh flavor!

    I wait all year for the strawberry season so I can not only make this infused vodka but my son wants me to make strawberry jam for his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My daughter wants strawberry soup that she remembers from The Grand Floridian in Disney World and my husband asks me to make strawberry rhubarb crisp for dessert.

    📦 Storage tip

    I store my strawberry vodka in a closed mason jar and keep it in a cool dark place until it is cocktail time! 

    I keep the saved soaked strawberries in a container in the refrigerator and add them as an ingredient in certain cocktails.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Should you strain the strawberries out of the strawberry vodka?

    I strain the berries from the vodka using just a mesh strainer. The seeds and bits of strawberry will still be in the vodka with this method. If you prefer a clean liquid, you are going to want to strain through several layers of fine cheesecloth. Or use a coffee filter.
    I prefer the seeds and strawberry bits. It reminds me that this is vodka was made with REAL strawberries.

    Do you need to heat the vodka to infuse it?

  • No need to heat this mixture. Just keep this strawberry vodka sealed and in a cool dry place.
