Default Re: Making Infused Vodka

These were done, IMO, after 24 hours:

Granny Smith apple with rosehips and cinnamon
Strawberry and mango
Kiwi, starfruit and blood orange peel
Garlic, basil and dried chipolte peppers
Ginger with whole allspice, cloves and star anise

These are still in progress:

Blueberry mint -- took some of the mint out and added a bit of sugar
Pear ginger with a bit of whole allspice -- added a bit more ginger, but will probably take it out today

The garlic-basil-chipolte is very weird. Strong garlic up front and a very spicy finish. Not sure if I like it or not. Pair it with some homemade Mary mix though, and it could be killer. Will try that this weekend.

The fruit ones are all good; strawberry-mango perhaps great. Drank each straight and also with a splash of tonic. A bit too much orange flavor in the kiwi-starfruit, I think I'll leave that bit out next time and go for just tropical flavors.
