How about a superfood infused vodka? That’s what you get with this Goji Berry Infused Vodka! Post may contain affiliate links.
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty big into superfoods. I figure if I’m going to eat, I might as well eat something with a little extra punch. I’m also pretty big into infused liquors. So, when I saw Goji Berry Infused Vodka in Zen and Tonic, it immediately went on the to-make list! I had already made the Summer Thyme cocktail from the book and loved it. I always have Goji berries on hand because I use them in smoothies and in our granola, and of course, I also always have vodka!
If you’ve never had them it’s kind of hard to describe what they taste like. As a matter of fact, I just googled it and someone said they are kind of reminiscent of dried cranberries or cherries. I think are also a bit raisiny. It’s a flavor that seems like it would lend itself to sweet and savory purposes. The infused vodka has an earthy, dried berry flavor. In the book she recommends using it in a Superfruit Sangria. I also think it would be good in some winter cocktails. I’ve had it in a vodka tonic and it was yummy! The recipe doesn’t make a lot, so it’s a fun recipe to try without committing to a whole bottle.
Goji Berry Infused Vodka
Ingredients
- 1 cup vodka
- 1/2 cup dried goji berries
Instructions
- Combine the vodka and goji berries in a mason jar with a lid. Seal and store in a cool dark place for 1 week. Shake periodically. Strain and store in a pretty bottle!
What an interesting idea! I have never tasted goji berries, but you’ve got me intrigued. From your description, I think I’d like them – and in vodka, well I’ll just say “Pass the mason jar and let’s get started.”
My daughter sent me some goji berries from Vietnam where she is working and I have yet to do anything with them. Vodka might be a place to start!! I love the bottle in the photo!
Hi Pam. I had goji berries in my baking cupboard about 5 years ago. I did not know what to do with them and eventually had to throw them out (!?!?!?) but I’m loving this superfood vodka combination. I’m wondering… can it help alleviate the symptoms of shingles? Perhaps worth investigating.
