I'm thinking of trying some home made vodka infusions. I wanna start early in an attempt to come up with a "Christmas" flavored vodka for the holidays. I'm thinking fig, date, vanilla, anise, mint, nutmeg, cinnamon, and possibly a touch of clove and citrus or pineapple. Not sure of the balance of those flavors yet, but I'll have to go heavy with the fruit flavors in order to "balance" them with the other stronger spice flavors. I "think" that'll get me close. Anyone here ever try making any alcohol infusions? Tips, tricks, or suggestions? I'm not sure sangria counts, but if you've done it, and can give some constructive criticism, let me know what you think.
