1

Gather your supplies

To make Citrus Peel Candy Infused Vodka, you'll need the following items: - 1 bottle of your favorite vodka - 2-3 citrus fruits (orange, lemon, or lime) - Citrus peel candy, about 1 cup - A clean, airtight glass jar - A sharp knife or peeler - A cutting board - A muddler or wooden spoon

2

Prepare the citrus fruits

Wash the citrus fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax. Use a sharp knife or peeler to carefully remove the colorful outer peels from the fruits. Try to avoid the bitter white pith as much as possible. Set aside the peels for later use, and enjoy the fruit for a refreshing snack!

3

Infuse the vodka

Pour the bottle of vodka into the clean glass jar. Add the citrus peels and citrus peel candy to the jar. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to gently crush and mix the peels and candy with the vodka. This will help release their flavors and promote infusion. Close the jar tightly.

4

Let it work its magic

Place the jar in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard. Let the mixture infuse for at least 3-4 days, giving it a gentle shake or stir every day to keep the flavors mingling. The longer you let it infuse, the stronger the citrus flavors will become.

5

Strain and enjoy

After the infusing period, it's time to enjoy the fruity goodness! Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain out the citrus peels and any residue. Transfer the infused vodka back into its original bottle or a pretty decanter. Serve it straight up or use it to whip up delightful citrus-infused cocktails. Cheers!
