Honeysuckle Infused Vodka
1.) Collect honeysuckle flowers, wait until flowers are yellow
for best taste and make sure to remove any green leaves or stems from your
collection.
2.) Fill and tightly pack your collected honeysuckle flowers
into a mason jar
3.) Select your desired vodka and fill your mason jar. Seal the lid of the jar
and let your infusion sit for two days.
3.) After the two days are up, separate the vodka and flowers. To transfer the
infused vodka and strain out the flowers, use cheesecloth and pour your
honeysuckle vodka into another jar.
4.) Next, refrigerate the vodka. (the honeysuckle smell will probably last a
month before the floral smell starts to fade)
5.) Mix 2 to 3 ounces of infused vodka over ice and add tonic, juice, or
seltzer!
6.) Enjoy your invasive plant concoction!

Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for a recipe for this all over with good, straightforward instructions (including whether it's appropriate to use the yellowed flowers). Very excited to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteHow does it taste?
ReplyDeleteTaste like your sucking on a honeysuckle. Wonderful! I like it just over ice with a bit of water.
