INFUSED VODKA HOLIDAY DRINK - 12/13/07 05:59 PM
I made a batch of this for thanksgiving. WARNING :: When you drink it you don't realize how potent it is.
Take a 1.75 liter bottle of Absolute and pour it into a large mason jar or somethig similar that can be sealed. Keep the bottle. Cut up about a dozen fresh figs in half and drop them in. Then add about eight cinnamon sticks. Seal the jar and put it someplace where you can see it. After a few days some of the figs are floating and others are not. A red color is rising from the bottom of the concoction. After about two weeks the whole thing should have a color darker than pink but lighterthan red. Let it sit another week.
After the third week, retrieve your old vodka bottle.
Open the jar and carefully remove the figs and cinamon sticks, and then run the liquid through a strainer into a large potcher. Then funnel it back into he Vodka Bottle. Best drunk straight up and a bit chilled.
