These crisp, chilly mornings remind me of Finland and not surprisingly, vodka. Having a couple of frozen vodka shots certainly warms the cockles of the heart – and as it looks like we’re in for a long, chilly winter, I thought I’d introduce our readers to infused vodka.
Infusing vodka means to take an ordinary vodka and add a flavoursome product. You create personalised infused vodka.
Many alcohol companies have created a broad range of infused vodkas, available at liquor stores, but what if you created your own?
Friends come round for a visit and you casually mention: “How would you like a shot of frozen strawberry and white chocolate vodka? Or fig, raisin and ginger vodka? Or perhaps the salted Caramel with pomegranate?
Take your favourite lolly, add a few dozen to a bottle of standard vodka and leave in the freezer for two weeks. Hey presto – a personal infused vodka. Milk bottles, jaffas, Whittaker’s chocolate, gummy-bears, pineapple lumps – the combinations are endless.

With a ‘glass half full’ attitude, why not think outside the square and create something special? So as the temperatures drop, and you snuggle up at home in front of a cosy fire with your infused vodka, life isn’t too bad in our Bay of Plenty.
