Method

  • step 1

    Open the bottle of vodka and add the rest of the ingredients. For a stronger flavour it’s a good idea to bruise the cardamom pods and juniper berries in a pestle and mortar first. Put the lid back on the bottle and leave in a cool dark place for 24 hrs.

  • step 2

    Strain the infused mixture into a jug through a sieve lined with coffee filter paper, then pour back into the bottle to store. Will keep for months in a cool dark place. Use as you would any gin, so great with tonic or in a Martini.

This is so tasty. My husband says that it's the best gin he's ever tasted. I'm not sure about that, but we certainly were happy sipping it neat. It's so easy too-- no waiting a month for it to mature, and it was quick to filter.

Gin or vodka?or is the point to mark the vodka taste like gin? I haven't tried this yet, but am already looking for new ideas for the 2017 hampers, so will be looking again at this recipe

Gin is essentially vodka flavoured with various botanicals. The infusion takes place after the distillation process has finished so this recipe will give you something not too far removed from proper gin.
