Cinnamon-Apple Infused Vodka
Easy recipe for infusing plain vodka with a cinnamon-apple flavor
Equipment
- 1 16-ounce pint glass jar (or another glass jar with a tight-fitting lid)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Grey Goose Vodka (or other good quality vodka)
- 1 medium-sized fresh apple such as Gala, Honeycrisp or Fuji
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Wash the apple and remove the stem. Slice the apple (without peeling) into 8 or more wedges and place them into the jar.
- Place the cinnamon stick into the jar.
- Pour the vodka into the jar until it reaches the jar rim. It should cover all the apples. Put the lid on the glass jar.
- Place the jar into the refrigerator and leave for 7 days. Remove the cinnamon stick after 24 hours for a milder cinnamon taste. For a richer cinnamon taste, remove after 3 days.
- On day 7, remove the apple slices from the jar. Then pour the vodka through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any apple bits. Store the vodka in the refrigerator in the same glass jar.
Notes
Yield
This recipe makes about 1 cup of cinnamon apple vodka. You can also use a quart jar to double the amount. Cut up two apples and place them in the quart jar. Add 1 cinnamon stick and fill the glass jar with vodka, covering all the apples.Brown Apples
The apples will turn brown during the 7 days. This will not hurt the final product.Watch for Mold or an Unpleasant Smell
As with all homemade items, do not use the vodka if a mold appears on the apples or if it develops an unpleasant smell. The final product should be amber in color and clear after straining any apple bits.Conversion to Milliliters
A sixteen-ounce pint jar is approximately 500 ml.Nutrition
