Servings: 12 1 ounce shots
Equipment
- 1 soup bag
Ingredients
- 12 ounces vodka (½ 750 ML bottle)
- 1 tablespoon juniper berries
- 2 cardamom pods
- ¼ teaspoon coriander seeds
- 2 dehydrated orange slices (or lemon)
- ⅛ teaspoon culinary lavender
- ⅛ teaspoon anise seeds
- 2 star anise
- 2 marigold flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Sterilize a 12-ounce or larger mason jar. Pour ½ of a 750 ml bottle of vodka (approximately 12 ounces) into a mason jar.
- Add juniper berries, cardamom pods, coriander seeds, dehydrated orange slices, lemon peel, dried lavender, anise seeds, star anise, and marigolds (if adding).
- Seal and shake the bottle, then store it on the counter for 48 hours, shaking often. When it's time, strain the alcohol through a soup bag or a fine-mesh sieve into a flip-top bottle.
Notes
- Allspice berries, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, Hojas De Aguacate (Mexican avocado leaves), which are known for their anise-like flavor, and fennel seeds are just some of the ingredients that you can add to a homemade Infused Gin.
- Infused gin takes on the color of the herbs, spices, and botanicals, which gives it a yellowish tinge. Don't be surprised when your homemade gin is not clear.
- Before serving your homemade gin, garnish with a few juniper berries for a beautiful presentation. Cheers!
