Commercially available flavored vodkas are full of who-knows-what. Steep your own Cranberry Vodka without any added sugar or chemicals for festive drinks!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1.5 litres (6 cups) vodka

Instructions

  1. Divide the vodka equally between 3 quart sized wide mouthed mason jars, about 2 cups each.
  2. Add the fresh cranberries to a food processor and pulse until the cranberries are roughly chopped.
  3. Divide the chopped cranberries equally between the jars. Add the lids and seal loosely.
  4. Store in a cool dark place for 3 – 4 weeks.
  5. Pour the cranberry vodka mixture from the mason jars through a fine mesh strainer into a large jug to remove the cranberry pieces. You don’t need them any longer here, but you can keep them to make baked goods if you wish!
  6. If there are still some small pieces of cranberries left in the vodka, you will need to strain the liquid again through some cheesecloth or similar.
  7. Decant the finished cranberry vodka into pretty bottles of your choice!
