Tips:
- Choose the right vodka: Not all vodkas are created equal. When making a citrus vodka infusion, choose a vodka that is smooth and has a neutral flavor. This will allow the citrus flavors to shine through.
- Use fresh citrus fruits: The fresher the citrus fruits, the better your infusion will be. Choose fruits that are ripe and have no blemishes.
- Zest the citrus fruits before juicing them: The zest of the citrus fruits contains a lot of flavor. By zesting the fruits before juicing them, you can release this flavor into the vodka.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of citrus fruits. You can use oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, or tangerines. Each type of citrus fruit will give your infusion a slightly different flavor.
- Let the infusion steep for at least 24 hours: The longer the infusion steeps, the more flavor the vodka will absorb. You can let it steep for up to a week, but 24 hours is usually sufficient.
- Strain the infusion before using it: Once the infusion is finished steeping, strain it through a cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove any solids.
