Ginger-Vodka infusion

Someone recently left a very large bottle of smirnoff vodka at my house, which...isn't my preferred brand of vodkas. Though it's a definate step up from the rotgut they serve as house vodka in many dive bars.

So...I decided to give a try at infusing with it. Because 1, it was free and 2, why not?



Recipe 1
1 cup of freshly chopped ginger (I left it in fairly large chunks)
Large mason jar
Lotta vodka

1. Peel and chop your ginger
2. Throw it in a jar
3. Fill that jar with vodka and put a lid on it

now for the fun part
4. Wait a few days, shake your jar once or twice a day just to get that ginger all infused like.
5. After you feel it's properly gingery. Strain the ginger out and return your now amazing vodka to a storage container of your choice.

I'll let you know what kind of nifty martini we come up with...just as soon as we get to drinking it in a drink. Currently I just keep sneaking sips from the jar...well, I mean not LITERALLY from the jar. But you know what I mean.
