How to Make Berry Aquavit
- Gently wash and thoroughly dry 4 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are recommended).
- Place the berries in a clean, wide-mouthed 1-liter glass jar.
- Carefully pour 750ml of good quality potato vodka over the berries.
- Securely seal the jar with an airtight lid.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place at room temperature for 6-8 weeks, gently shaking the jar once a week. This allows the flavors to fully infuse.
- After 6-8 weeks, carefully strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined funnel into a clean container, pressing gently on the berries to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of simple syrup (made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat until completely dissolved and cooled).
- Transfer the infused vodka to a clean 1-liter bottle.
- Add 1/4 cup of fresh berries to the bottle for garnish (optional).
- Seal the bottle tightly and store it in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- Serve ice-cold in shot glasses. Enjoy responsibly!
