L is for Liquor - Crafting Through The Alphabet

L is for... Liquor

I agonized over what to do for my L project. I waffled back and forth about what to make. The answer came to me at work, of all places. My manager had, amazingly, remembered that I was doing this project and asked me how it was going (it's amazing because I genuinely don't remember telling him about it). As usual with that kind of conversation, people started making suggestions. One of my friends randomly turned around and said, "liquor." I'm pretty sure he was joking, actually. But, it was a great idea and I promptly started looking up infused liquors. I found this great chart and used that to make grapefruit vodka for my mom and blackberry vodka for me!

Sadly, for some reason, I took no pictures of this process. I had some friends over for drinks and we had vodka tonics with my blackberry vodka. I don't love vodka so I actually still haven't finished the bottle. But, it was a really cool project! I've done it again with earl grey steeped in vodka - now that vodka I could drink all the time. Mixed with some sparkling white wine and a lemon twist... mmmm.
