Summer berry fizz

Summer berry fizz

You can buy berry-flavoured vodkas but it's easy to make your own and as it keeps in the fridge for weeks, it's more fun to drink!

Method

  1. Put the 350g raspberries, strawberries, lemon zest and caster sugar in a bowl and crush with a potato masher. Add the vanilla pod, mix well and leave for 2 hours until the fruit starts to become really juicy.
  2. Cover the fruit with the vodka, mix well, cover and chill for at least 3 days, or until needed.
  3. Strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve then decant into a clean bottle. Pour a measure of the vodka into a tall glass, add a few fresh raspberries, blueberries and the slices of nectarine. Top up with chilled cava or soda and ice to serve.

    such a FANTASTIC drink!! I soaked the fruit in the vodka for 3 days before the day of the party. Completed step 3 on the day and stored this in glass bottles in the fridge. It went down like a storm! Everyone loved it and those brave enough had it with some champagne (25% champagne and 75% cocktail)..... THIS combination was very very potent. I'll certainly be making this many more times!
