The quality of vodka you use for an infused vodka is important. As when cooking with wine, only use a vodka you enjoy drinking.
For the best results use a vodka with a proof of 80 or above, as the aromatics of the fruit are drawn out due to the alcohol, so the higher the proof the more flavored and aromatic the resulting flavored vodka will be.
However with a higher proof, the taste of the vodka can be more harsh so find a happy medium. I like a smooth vodka, so I went with Grey Goose, which has a proof of 80, but you can use whatever you like.
You can also add your own personal touches to the vodka by adding your own flavorings.
Why not try adding a vanilla bean for strawberry vanilla vodka. You could also try using different fruits such as cherries, blueberries and raspberries.
You could even try adding peaches, plums or slices of orange, lemon or lime. Or, for something a little more festive, why not check out the Plum Pudding Vodka I made last year.
Serve the Strawberry Vodka chilled over ice, or in your favorite cocktail.
