How to Make Citrus Vodka

  1. Cut 3-4 long strips of orange peel, avoiding the white pith as much as possible.
  2. Cut 3-4 long strips of lemon peel, avoiding the white pith.
  3. Cut 3-4 long strips of lime peel, avoiding the white pith.
  4. Fold each peel strip in half crosswise.
  5. Thread the peel strips onto a long skewer, alternating orange, lemon, and lime.
  6. Carefully push the skewer through the neck of a clean, 750ml clear glass bottle (using chopsticks to help guide if needed). Ensure the peels are nestled inside, but not broken.
  7. Fill the bottle completely with vodka.
  8. Cork the bottle tightly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 week, or up to 3 weeks, for optimal flavor infusion.
  10. Remove the skewer and enjoy your homemade citrus vodka!
