Serve chilled in small cordial glasses as an after-dinner digestif, or use as a flavorful addition to cocktails and sparkling beverages.
Use the best quality vodka you can afford, as it will significantly impact the final flavor of the liqueur.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet liqueur, start with ¾ cup of sugar and add more to taste after the infusion process.
For a more complex flavor profile, consider adding a vanilla bean or a few lemon or orange peels to the jar during the infusion process. Remove the additions before straining.
The liqueur will continue to improve with age. After bottling, store it in a cool, dark place for several months to allow the flavors to meld and mellow.
