INFUSED VODKA & GIN

Fresh fruit infused spirits take a little time to prepare but make fresh, all-natural alternatives to many cocktails. Take some time, give them a try and taste the difference.

Prep

Fill a jar (2-quart or larger) with any desired fruit (cube or slice fruit). Add enough Crater Lake Vodka or Cascade Mountain Gin to completely cover the fruit. Cover jar and allow to stand until the disired flavor is acheived (will take anywhere from 2 to 10 days.)

It is recommended but not necessary to refrigerate the fruit and spirit infusion until ready to serve.

Below are some of our favorite infused martini recipes. For bars and restaurants we recommend doubling or even tripling the recipe. All these recipes have been extensively tested and work very well in any high-volume bar.
