Huckleberry Vodka Infusion - Stage 1

TGIF & hellooo huckleberries! I am excited to share this infusion, because it is just so delicious and refreshing for these dog days of summer.

Infusions are fun and you can throw in whatever fruit or veggie that is in season. I found some huckleberries in the freezer from last summer and decided the best way to use them up is to dump them in vodka!

The thing I love most about infusions is that even though you can buy the same flavor off the shelf at the liquor store, it just doesn't taste as good as the real fruit flavor. So in honor of huckleberry season coming up, I bring you huckleberry (hiccup) infused vodka!

What you need: mason jar, vodka, & huckleberries (or berries of your choice).

Step 1: fill jar at least 3/4 full of berries (mine are frozen - they can be either fresh or frozen)

Step 2: Pour the vodka into the mason jar

Step 3: Put on the lid

Step 4: Store for about 3 days, berry infusions tend to infuse pretty quick
Shake gently once a day

Stay tuned for stage 2 (yes, this is the stage you get to drink it)!
