Preparation
Step 1
Basically, all that I did was fill my bottle with a carton of raspberries and lemon peels from about six lemons. Then I just poured the vodka over the fruit, covered the container and left it in the fridge for a week. Maybe ten days, I honestly don’t remember…
I gave it a shake every few days and just left it alone.
Once you think the vodka is sufficiently flavored, just strain off the vodka and discard the fruit. Unless you want to try eating the raspberries… I tried one… and nearly lit the place on fire! That was one potent raspberry. Whew!
So, I decided to use up all the lemon juice that I saved and just make some refreshing lemonade. It was the best decision I made on Friday!
Yes, you can buy already flavored vodka and lemonade, but it’s always so much better when you make it yourself.
Place the raspberries into a container.
Pour over enough vodka to cover the fruit. I had just over a cup of vodka to cover my raspberries. Cover and refrigerate for 7 to 10 days. Shake every few days. The raspberries will start to fade and look pale when ready.
Boil the water and add the sugar. Stir until the water is clear and all the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
I had 1.5 cups of lemon juice from my six lemons. Add equal amounts of lemon juice and simple syrup and stir. It will be strong and tart. You can add more water if you'd like to dilute it.
Add equal parts infused vodka and lemonade to a shaker with ice and pour into a sugar rimmed glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge and raspberry.
