Ingredients
- 2 cups Vanilla Absolut Vodka

Instructions

Wash all the berries and let dry.
-
If using strawberries, poke holes in it with a toothpick so they can absorb the vodka better.
-
Add the berries to a clean mason jar and pour the vodka over top.
-
Let sit for at least 1 hour. Note that the longer you let them soak, the strawberries will start to lose their color.
-
Serve with homemade whipped cream or make a drink with seltzer water and just the vodka from the jars. Garnish with the berries.
-
Refrigerate before and after serving.
-
NOTE: I used roughly 6 strawberries, 9 blackberries and 9 raspberries with 2 cups of vodka. The nutritional information is based on this whole jar making 4 servings. That would be berries and alcohol. I suggest you use your own calculations based on what you actually eat.
