Begin by washing your strawberries thoroughly. Remove stems and any green leaves. Now, slice them in half. This helps release their juices, enabling a better infusion process.

In a large, clean glass jar or vessel, add your sliced strawberries. Pour in the vodka until the strawberries are completely submerged. A good tip is to leave a little space at the top to allow for any expansion.

Seal your jar tightly. Now comes the hard part: patience. Place your jar in a cool, dark place. Let it infuse for at least 48 hours. For even better results, you can let it sit for up to a week. The longer it sits, the more pronounced the strawberry flavor will be.

Once you’ve reached your desired infusion time, it’s time to strain your vodka. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the solids from the liquid. Discard the strawberries or use them in a dessert (trust me, they are delicious after soaking).

Pour your strawberry vodka back into the original vodka bottle or any glass container for easy access. Store it in the fridge to keep it chilled for serving. Fresh vodka-infused with strawberries will stay good for about a month – if it lasts that long!
