One of my favorite things about the holidays is homemade cranberry vodka. It has been a family tradition for a few years and there is something fantastic about sitting down with a glass of red vodka at the end of a busy festive day.
It takes some advance prep. The ingredients are simple 16 oz. organic cranberries, 1 cup evaporated cane sugar, 2 tsp. vanilla, vodka, club soda and lime. Also a fine mesh strainer, sauce pan, funnel and 2 quart mason jars are needed.
Rinse and dry cranberries ( I prefer organic because of the infusion process).
Put cranberries, sugar and vanilla over medium low heat and stir. Once cranberries burst and sugar liquifies remove from heat and let cool slightly. Divide cranberries in half and place in two mason jars. Fill jars with vodka and let sit on the counter for 1 week. Strain vodka and store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
My favorite way to drink it: 2 shots over ice, fill glass with club soda and garnish with a slice of lime.
