Ingredients
- 2 cups vodka
- 1 cup fresh watermelon chunks
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Select a ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor. Remove the rind and cut the flesh into small, bite-sized chunks.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the watermelon chunks into a clean, sterilized glass jar. Pour the vodka over the fruit, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged.
- Seal and Steep: Seal the jar tightly with a lid and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake gently once a day to help the infusion process.
- Strain and Bottle: After 3–5 days (taste-test on day 3 to check the flavor), strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Avoid pressing the watermelon too much to keep the vodka clear.
- Store: Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark spot. The vodka will keep fresh for up to 2–3 weeks due to the delicate nature of watermelon.
Notes
Pairings: Fantastic in light spritzers, sparkling tonics, or mixed with soda water and a splash of lime. Complements fresh fruit platters, light appetizers, or summer salads.
Perfect Mixes: Pair with lemonade and mint for a cooling summer drink. Mix with sparkling rosé for a fruity twist on a wine spritzer. Combine with pineapple juice for a tropical cocktail vibe.
Perfect Cocktail: Use this watermelon infused vodka in our Watermelon Breeze Martini.
