How to Make Pumpkin Infused Vodka
This pumpkin infused vodka is about the fruit. No spices, just canned pumpkin hanging out with vodka for a few days before getting strained and used in delicious fall cocktails.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vodka
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
To Make the Infusion
- Combine the pumpkin puree and vodka in the mason jar.
- Screw the lid on tightly and give the mixture a gentle shake.
- Let it sit in a cool, dry place for 5 days.
To Strain the Infusion
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Line the sieve with 2 layers of cheesecloth.
- Give the vodka mixture one final shake, then slowly pour it through the cheesecloth lined strainer.
- Strain the vodka mixture through the cheesecloth.
- Dispose of the cheesecloth or rinse it out, hand wash it, and air dry the cheesecloth for reuse.
- Replace the cheesecloth in the strainer with a coffee filter and pour ½ of the vodka through the filter.
- Replace the filter and pour the remaining ½ through the second filter.
- (Be patient! It’s going to take a few minutes for all of the liquid to strain through.)
- Store the vodka in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
Equipment
- Coffee Filters optional, but recommended
