I tried this a few years ago with a citrus infused vodka. I’ve been meaning to try more flavors, I just never got around to it. This is so easy, I can’t wait to make other holiday flavors!
Cranberry Infused Vodka
Ingredients:
750 mL of vodka, 1 lb. cranberries, splash of lemon juice, 1/4 c. sugar
Directions:
Wash and sort cranberries. Add cranberries, lemon juice and sugar in a sauce pan. Simmer over low heat until berries burst. Using back of the spoon, burst any reluctant berries. Place cranberries and vodka in glass jar (I use a larger carafe). Stir, cover and set aside for one week. I give mine a shake once a day. Stain and discard berries. Make sure all particles are removed from vodka. Pour infused vodka back into original bottle.
Add a few drink recipe cards and this makes a fantastic holiday gift.
What’s in your glass tonight?

I did cucumber and jalapeno this year. The jalapeno works wonderfully in bloody Mary’s, warm but not overwhelming. And the cucumber was yummy with blackberry puree! I need to try some of this cranberry!
Good idea! Those both sound delicious!
I can already just imagine the fresh cranberry flavor in this.. no artificial cranberry cocktails will ever do… I can’t believe it just has to mellow for a week?! Fantastic!
So much better!
I’m definitely going to try this for the holidays. It sounds really good!
Let me know how you like it and what flavors combos you try!
What a great and fun idea. I just happen to have a few bags of cranberries (clearly I had a hoarding issue with the fruit this season) and an extra bottle of vodka lying around. 🙂
Oooh! Sounds like you’re set!
sounds like a great cosmo!!!
That would be perfect!
What a tasty twist!
Certainly better then the chemical loaded vodkas at the liquor store.
Party time!
Remember to drink responsibly!
I bookmarked this. We’re going to try this for our Christmas Open House!
Let me know how you like it!
This will be great for my Christmas party! I can’t believe it’s that easy!!!
Let me know how it turns out if you make it!
Would this work with rum or gin? Cheers!
I wouldn’t try it with spiced rum… but light rum or gin should work. Let me know if you try it!
yum
🙂
With a twist of lime? PERFECTION!
That does sound nice!
I need to make this right now!
Let me know what you mix it with!
Hello, just wanted to mention, I enjoyed this post. Keep on posting vodka!
