Vodka Infusion Recipes from Thrillist

We've been hammering Thrillist pretty hard the past couple weeks, featuring all sorts of stories by them. There are two reasons. One, they cover cool stuff that relates to drinking. Two, we're lazy, and their emails (join up) hit our inbox every day just begging to be covered.

Today's installment of "Thrillist Snob" involves vodka infusion recipes so you can make your own flavored vodkas. We've included their tips on how to do infusions below, plus you should head over to their site for recipes - Pravda's Fig Vodka, Big Pepper Infused Vodka and Triple Citrus Vodka. Mmm-mmm good.

First, choose a neutral tasting vodka -- one that's been distilled more than three times and isn't made from potatoes or sold in unmarked plastic jugs . Pick your additive -- be sure it's organic, as pesticides will taint your vodka. Dump everything into an air-tight glass jar and let it sit at room temperature. Most fruits impart their flavors within a couple days, though more fibrous roots (horseradish, ginger, insert hysterical fibrous root joke here) can take a couple weeks.
