Tips & Substitutions

Serving Suggestions
Serve the infused vodka chilled in cocktail glasses or use it as a base for creative cocktails. It pairs beautifully with Danish Glogg for a festive twist. You can also mix it with soda or tonic water for a refreshing drink. Garnish with fresh fruit or herbs for an elegant presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used, but make sure to thaw it first and drain any excess liquid. This will help achieve a better infusion and prevent dilution of flavors. The resulting drink may have a slightly different texture but will still be delicious.
How do I know when the infusion is ready?
If you prefer a lighter flavor, you can stop the infusion after 2 months.
Can I add spices to the infusion?
Absolutely! Adding spices like cinnamon sticks or star anise during the infusion process can add a warm, aromatic flavor. Just be cautious with the amount, as spices can overpower the fruit flavors. Start with one or two spices and adjust to your taste.
