In reply to Thomas R Sager. Not in this recipe because we are just making flavored vodka and not a liqueur. But you could totally do that and make it a cordial.

Doesn’t sugar get added and brought up to temperature of melting the sugar before storing?

I find that this method easily creates a product that tastes like grass. This is because the mint breaks down very fast like basil would. Instead, I put the vodka in the freezer. Once it’s really really cold, I mix it with the mint and pop it back in the freezer. The freezer infusion ends up with all the mint notes (such as the chocolate note of chocolate mint or the lemon note of Hillary mint), so you don’t just end up with a menthol cough syrup (or mouldy hey perfume).
It has to be left in the freezer to infuse for a lot longer, though. Then strained and put in a bottle (or drunk straight from the jar in big gulps). Never did alcohol breath smell so delightful!

You had me with easy on this recipe. I have a large bottle of vodka in my pantry just begging to be used. I’m not much of a drinker so this would make a cool gift. Thanks for the idea!

I keep meaning to make my own infused vodkas, and I love the idea of mint infused vodka! I can think of some friends who would love this as gifts as well. Thanks!
