    Ingredients

    • 2 cups neutral flavored Vodka
    • 2/3 cups Pomegranate Arils (seeds), any membrane removed
    • 1 ½ small limes , peeled and cut into large pieces

    Instructions

    • Pour the vodka in a quart Mason jar or other sealable glass container (plastic not recommended). Add the pomegranate arils and using a cocktail muddler or firm wooden mixing spoon, mash some of the arils for better infusion. Add the lime, muddle slightly and seal.
    • Place in a cool, dark location for 5-7 days. Taste the infusion to ensure it has the density of flavor desired and either let sit longer if more flavor is needed or strain into a clean jar for longer keeping (discard the pomegranate and lime).

      I am excited to try this. I am currently making my first Liqueur. Raspberry Lime! I am eager to bottle it for my gifts. Question though……do you find the lime makes it cloudy? I am trying to decide if I stir it before bottling or if I only use the top of the liqueur that is not cloudy. I make wine and hate my wine cloudy. Excited to try your recipe next. Pomegranates are in season! WOOHOO!

        Hi Kerri! Your liqueur sounds delicious! My vodka looked exactly as in the photos; no retouching. So yes when the limes were initially put in the vodka it looked cloudy but as you can see the end infusion is not. I assume sitting for a week somehow dissipated whatever causes the clouding initially. Hope that helps!

      Have you tried a family favourite of ours – sloe gin? Of course we make it solely for the beautiful ruby colour which looks lovely in my Victorian glasses, oh and the warm glow inside and out while wrapping presents. Try it.

        I actually have a few Brit blogger friends who love to DIY infusions as I do. They have beautiful recipes for making Sloe Gin however we can’t get the sloes in the U.S….that I know of! Love that rosey color though. I did make a version of Hedgerow Gin which is from your side of the pond. That was fun!
