We attended the funeral of my DIL's grandfather, a 30-year veteran from the USMC in Swansboro, NC this past weekend. While we were in the area I spotted a farmer's market with freshly picked strawberries. They looked so good that I bought a flat for $24. Two-thirds of the strawberries are in the container below with the vodka. Time to wait till all the good flavor is transferred to the vodka. Probably a week to ten days till I strain the liquid and refrigerate.

Actually, I have been doing this for about 35 years. I could teach some of these college boys a few tricks.

Great looking strawberry infused vodka. Would love to taste the results.
I do not drink very many hard liquor type drinks but do love a hot and spicy bloody mary early in the morning especially in the Winter season or at a bbq contest. I make these drinks with some very hot and spicy infused vodka.

This is 1-1/2 gallon of my vodka getting happy. The veggies out of this jar sure makes for a great pot roast!
What will you do with your strawberry infused vodka?

Once I am done letting the vodka get happy, I will strain the strawberries out and let them drain. I will probably have to strain the vodka at least one more time using some cheese cloth. Back into the bottle and into the refrigerator. Sometimes I will put the bottle into the freezer and let the "water" from the strawberries freeze and then pour off the remaining strawberry infused vodka. Not sure what I will do this time.
The one thing I hope to be able to do is bring some to the Ohio Gathering, if that's okay.

I can associate. First year at college without parental supervision = schopro (Dee, that means scholastic probation). Maybe that's why it took me 6 years for a 4 year degree. My dad thought that I was going to be one of those professional students forever.

Even on my diet, I would have a hard time passing one of those up.
