How to infuse your favourite spirit with soft fruit
How to infuse your favourite spirit with soft fruit
Infusing your favourite spirit, we would recommend gin or vodka, is a great way to experiment with flavours or diversify your drinks trolley, plus they can make perfect gifts or wedding favours!
For some fruit inspiration, we'd recommend trying some of the below, but you can trial most fruits and see how it goes:
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Rhubarb
- Damsons
- Plums
- Blackcurrants
- Seville Oranges
- Gooseberries
- Chuckleberries
- Blueberries
- Cherries
For this recipe you will need:
- 300g of your chosen soft fruit
- 150g Caster Sugar
- 75cl of your chosen white spirit
- Sealable container or bottle
Method:
- Add the fruit to your sealable container or bottle, then pour over the sugar and gin.
- Shake well.
- Store in a cool, dark place for a minimum of 3-4 weeks, but up to 3 months.
- Strain into a fresh bottle using a sieve lined with a muslin cloth.
- Enjoy on ice or with your favourite mixer.
Our personal favourite spirits to make are damson gin, rhubarb gin, and raspberry vodka!
