Ingredients

• 2 cups vodka
• ¼ cup toasted almonds
• 1 teaspoon pure almond extract

Instructions

• Prepare the Almonds: Lightly toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before using.
• Combine Ingredients: Add the toasted almonds and pure almond extract to a clean, sterilized glass jar. Pour the vodka over the ingredients, ensuring everything is fully submerged.
• Seal and Steep: Seal the jar tightly with a lid and store it in a cool, dark spot. Shake the jar gently once a day to encourage the flavors to meld.
• Taste Test: After 3 days, taste the infusion to check the flavor. If a stronger almond taste is desired, let it steep for up to 5 days, tasting daily.
• Strain: Once the desired flavor is achieved, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove the almonds and sediment.
• Bottle: Transfer the strained vodka into a clean bottle or jar. Seal tightly and label with the date and contents.

Notes

Pairings:

• Dessert Cocktails: Ideal for white Russians, espresso martinis, or almond-flavored martinis.
• Spiked Coffee: Add a splash to coffee for a warm, nutty kick.
• Neat or On the Rocks: Enjoy as a smooth after-dinner drink.

Tips for Success:

• Toast with Care: Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor but be careful not to burn them, as this can create a bitter taste.
• Experiment with Add-Ins: For added depth, steep a small piece of vanilla bean or a cinnamon stick alongside the almonds.
• Storage: Store the infused vodka in a cool, dark place. For best flavor, consume within 3–6 months.
