FROZEN FESTIVE VODKA OR TEQUILA BOTTLES WITH HERBS AND BERRIES
Another GREAT Jamie Oliver recipe, and one that I am preparing for New Year's Eve! Jamie says you can use any spirits or liquor, but he suggestes vodka and tequila in his recipe. These bottles look SO festive and pretty, I plan to use holly, berries, bay leaves, fruit slices, ivy and woody herbs for my bottles this year. DO check that the liquor bottle fits INSIDE the plastic water bottle first! This recipe idea for serving liquor originates from Scandinavia. (Prep time is for freezing the bottles.)

Steps:
- Cut the top off a 1 litre plastic bottle, pop a 700ml bottle of vodka, tequila or whatever you fancy in there. Fill inside the plastic bottle with water then shove leaves, sprigs of herbs, holly branches and berries, and sliced fruits all around the side. Stand this carefully in the freezer and leave it for a few hours so everything freezes around the bottle.
- When you're ready to serve it, simply run the sleeve quickly under a tap then slide it off. You'll have a perfect ice wrap around the bottle to keep it cold for the night - and look gorgeous!

Steps:
- Place the vodka bottle into a fully opened half-gallon cardboard milk or juice carton.
- Insert flowers or thinly sliced fruit (we used holly, cranberry, lime slices, red roses, and white pine branches) around bottle, filling one-third of the carton.
- Pour water into container, just covering fruit and flowers.
- Place upright in the freezer.
- When completely frozen, add another layer of fruit and very cold water, and freeze.
- Repeat steps 2 through 5, filling and freezing a third time, so that fruit and flowers do not float to the top, until water reaches bottle neck.
- Remove from freezer just before serving; cut away milk carton with a utility knife.
Tips:
- Choose the right bottle. Clear glass bottles work best, as they allow you to see the contents. You can also use colored glass bottles, but be sure to choose a color that will complement the herbs and berries you are using.
- Prepare your herbs and berries. Wash the herbs and berries thoroughly and pat them dry. If you are using fresh herbs, chop them finely. If you are using dried herbs, crush them into small pieces.
- Layer the ingredients in the bottle. Start with a layer of herbs, then add a layer of berries. Repeat this process until the bottle is full. Be sure to press the ingredients down gently to remove any air bubbles.
- Add the vodka or tequila. Fill the bottle with vodka or tequila, leaving about an inch of headspace at the top. Seal the bottle tightly.
- Infuse the vodka or tequila. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. The longer you infuse the vodka or tequila, the more flavorful it will be. Once the vodka or tequila is infused, strain it into a clean bottle. You can store the infused vodka or tequila for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Frozen festive vodka or tequila bottles with herbs and berries are a beautiful and delicious way to celebrate the holidays. They are also a great gift idea. With a little planning and effort, you can create your festive vodka or tequila bottles that will impress your friends and family.
