Soaking strawberries in vodka for at least 1 hour will infuse the fruit with vodka flavor. You can then use the berries as a topping for ice cream, as a filling for pies, or freeze them and add them to adult smoothies. Choose strawberries that are fresh, ripe and in season for the best flavor.
Ingredients
Servings: 4
- 1 lb. (500 g) strawberries, stemmed and quartered

Poke holes into the strawberries with a fork. This will allow them to soak up more of the vodka.
Sterilize a quart-size jar by running the jar through the dishwasher or by soaking it in boiling water.[1]Advertisement
Place the strawberries inside the jar.
Pour the cup of vodka over the berries. Save the vodka bottle and lid if you want to use the strawberry-infused vodka later on.
Refrigerate the jarred fruit for 1 to 24 hours. If you’re not sure how strong you want the strawberries, taste one after a few hours and see if you want to continue the soaking process.
Open the jar and remove the berries from the vodka using a spoon.
Pour the vodka through a coffee filter into a clean container like the original vodka bottle if you would like to preserve it for another use. Using a strainer will make this process easier. Straining the vodka through the coffee filter will remove any strawberry seeds or other debris from the fruit.[2]
Store the berries for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, freeze them in an air-tight container or use them immediately.
