Making your own infused vodka is surprisingly simple. Literally all you have to do is select a flavor (pear, olive, jalapeño, vanilla etc.) and then prepare your selected ingredient so that has enough surface area to delivery as much flavor as possible, put it in a sealed container with a nice vodka and let it rest for a few days. Citruses typically deliver the most flavor and the fastest. One of my favorite winter flavors for cocktails is kumquat. I went to Eataly the other day and picked up a fresh batch of kumquats and some beautiful Meyer lemons ready for infusing. Now all I have to do is invite some friends over to enjoy! (any volunteers?)
