Today's post takes us off on a little tangent, yet is certainly relevant to the world of money saving. Infusing vodka is not only fun to do; it's cheap, can be given as a gift and tastes bloody nice. Ours came in at £3.40 a bottle (including the bottle!) here's how...
Air tight lemonade bottle - 30p charity shop
Ingredients -
Half a bottle of vodka - £5 (half price with coupons I had)
1 punnet of strawberries - 10p from Tesco's reduced section
50g sugar - 50p
1 cup of raspberries - free from garden
1 cup of blackcurrant - free from garden
2 tablespoons of water - free
String and scrap card for label - practically free
- In a bowl, add the sugar and vodka to the fruit
- Give it a good mash up with a potato masher, although make sure to leave some fruit whole
- Stir in the vodka
- Pour into an air tight bottle / jar
- Shake it about
- Add a fancy label
Stored in a cool dry area, the vodka can keep well for a few weeks. It goes very nicely with lemonade or, as it sweetens over time, on its own with ice. Make sure to enjoy it with some lovely friends.
