How to Make Orange Vodka

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from one orange in thin, almost transparent strips. Avoid the white pith as it can make the vodka bitter.
  2. In a clean glass jar, combine the orange zest, 750ml of high-quality vodka, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and let it stand in a cool, dark place for at least 4 days, shaking gently once a day. The longer it infuses, the stronger the orange flavor will become (up to 2 weeks).
  4. After 4 days (or your desired infusion time), strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a clean bottle. Discard the solids.
  5. Serve your homemade orange vodka ice cold. Enjoy responsibly!
