ALMOND VODKA
Very simple, and really not overly creative, but I came up with this last night when I didn't have any liqueurs to mix with the vodka that I did have. Really, you could change the flavor to practically anything, with all the different coffee syrups that are available.

VANILLA VODKA ALMOND JIGGLERS
This recipe for vegetarian-friendly, alcoholic almond gelatin jigglers (think Jello Jigglers meets Jello shots) combines vanilla vodka, uses seaweed-derived gelatin called agar-agar (as opposed to nondescript gelatin, which is likely to be animal-derived), and reduces paper/plastic waste (no cups). The ratio of water to alcohol is 1:1, so these jigglers are quite alcoholic! For better taste/less alcohol, you might consider reducing the amount of alcohol to 1 1/2 cups and increasing either the amount of water or milk to 2 1/2 cups (I would increase the milk, for more body and color). Of course, it's all a matter of personal taste and preference. The agar-agar powder can be found at your local South East Asian market.

Steps:
- Prepare gelatin molds: use shallow pan(s) or container(s) (non-stick metal, glass, aluminum, or plastic) or ready-made gelatin mold(s), applying it with non-stick cooking spray (recommended) or covering with it saran wrap (one whole piece covering bottom and edges of pan) for easy removal.
- In saucepan over medium to high heat, bring to boil water, sugar, and agar-agar powder, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat, then add vanilla vodka, milk, and almond extract.
- Immediately pour mixture slowly into container(s). Refrigerate until set (about 2 hours).
- Finally, remove firm gelatin from refrigerator and container(s) and place onto clean, flat surface. Use cookie cutters to make jigglers or use knife to simply cut into cubes.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality almonds: Use raw, unsalted almonds for the best flavor. Look for almonds that are plump and free of blemishes.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and makes them more aromatic. You can toast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
- Use a good-quality vodka: The vodka you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of the almond vodka. Choose a vodka that is smooth and has a neutral flavor.
- Infuse the vodka for at least 2 weeks: The longer you infuse the vodka, the more almond flavor it will have. You can infuse it for up to 6 weeks for a really intense flavor.
- Shake the jar daily: Shaking the jar daily will help to distribute the almond flavor throughout the vodka.
- Strain the vodka before using: Once the vodka has been infused, strain it through a cheesecloth or coffee filter to remove any almond solids.
Conclusion:
Almond vodka is a delicious and versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in a variety of cocktails and recipes. It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. With a little planning, you can have a batch of almond vodka ready to enjoy in just a few weeks. So what are you waiting for? Try making your own almond vodka today!
