Taking off from my last guest post on fresh herbs, and now that we have our fresh herbs growing, let's make some cocktails, shall we? Infusing vodka is super-simple and your guests will think you're a genius.
1. Choose your herbs and jars. I chose dill, rosemary and pineapple sage. Any clean, airtight jar will do.
2. Wash your herbs and stuff them into the jars, fill jars with vodka. Close the jars and store in a cool, dark place.
3. Wait - generally 3 to 5 days. This is the hard part.
4. Enjoy! Pineapple Sage Screwdriver? Dill Martini? How about a Rosemary Lemon Drop? Yes, please!
Rosemary Lemon Drop
1 1/2 oz. rosemary-infused vodka
1 1/2 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz. limoncello
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, lemon juice and limoncello (and a little sugar, if you like it sweet) and shake until cold. Strain into a sugar-rimmed martini glass. Garnish with a rosemary sprig. See? Genius!
