Hey Guys and Gals! A bright grapefruit vodka, lightly sweetened.
Ingredients
Step 1
2 organic Ruby Red grapefruits
1 1/2 cups vodka
Step 2
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
1 cup water
Directions
1. Zest the grapefruits, leaving the white pith behind. Pith makes it bitter. Juice the fruit and strain the juice through cheesecloth.
2. Add the zest, juice and vodka to a glass jar and seal tightly.
3. Keep in a cool, dark place. Strain out the zest after two weeks.
4. Age at least two more weeks. Longer is smoother.
5. Strain through moistened cheesecloth, then through a coffee strainer if needed.
6. Boil the water, stir in the sugar until dissolved, let cool, and add to the vodka.
