Vodka Infusions

After a conversation about experimenting with various flavored vodkas, we decided to create some of our own. The flavors we are trying are: cucumber, hot chile, pink grapefruit, watermelon, and almond.

Cucumber Infused Vodka
325 ml vodka
1/2 English seedless "hothouse" cucumber sliced

We will check out the flavors in about 3 weeks.

Chile Infused Vodka
750 ml vodka
1 red habenero seeded, and quartered lengthwise
1 jalepeno seeded, and quartered lengthwise
1 serrano seeded, and quartered lengthwise

After a couple of weeks we will check this one. Have a feeling it will be a big hit!

Watermelon Infused Vodka
375 ml vodka
1 cup watermelon cubed

Probably ready after a week.

Almond Infused Vodka
375 ml vodka
1 cup chopped fresh roasted almonds

????

Grapefruit Infused Vodka
375 ml vodka
1/2 pink grapefruit sliced

Good for summer drinks I suspect.

Once these are ready and we start experimenting I will post the hits and misses.

The verdict in our experiment was that the cucumber was absolutely FOUL. The hits were the chile (very very good) and the almond (sweet but nice) the misses were the watermelon and grapefruit. The grapefruit was bitter and the watermelon had a weird color.
