anyone ever try this? My first time. 5 days so far. Vodka with basil and rosemary. Gin with mint. The color change is dramatic

Never have tried any of these ideas - but they remind me of a trick I have used in baking for years. I use vodka in place of water.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Been thinking of doing this with tequila and jalapenos. How long are you all leaving the items in the alcohol?

I have a friend that does a cherry lime infused vodka. He uses his Anova and does it in jars to speed up the process

My wife put the whole garden in some Tito's: celery, carrots, onions, pickles...and likely some I have forgotten. It went well with Charleston bloody Mary mix.

Dang. I love the variations. Thanks

I have not tried either of these, but every summer, I make several half gallon bottles of Blueberry/Lemon Vodka which my wife mixes with Lemonade as her favorite summertime drink. I start with a half gallon of vodka of choice. You have to take a cup or cup and a half out of the bottle to allow room to add a package of dried blueberries and lemon zest though. I get the dried blueberries at Trader Joes, and I think the package is about 8 oz's. Add the package of dried blueberries to the bottle and add the zest of two large lemons. Let the fruit and vodka mixture sit at room temp for a week, strain the blueberries and lemon zest out, add back the vodka you removed to make room for the fruit and off you go. My wife loves it when mixed with lemonade as a summertime cocktail.

That is a great idea. Going to try it. Thank you.
