Fig Infused Vodka Recipe (2024)

FAQs

How long should you infuse vodka? ›

Infusing involves steeping one or more ingredients in a distilled spirit to extract flavor. With its neutral taste, vodka is well suited to take on the flavors of various ingredients. While it's a simple process, infusing does take time (about 3 to 7 days).

Figenza is made with hand-picked Mediterranean figs from Greece and Turkey. Figenza is gluten-free ultra premium vodka, six-times distilled and 31% alcohol by volume. Figenza is an extremely versatile vodka with its rich distinct texture, and sweet robust flavor.

This is also perfect for when you're not in the mood for a big preserving project, but want a quick way to make sure that handful of juicy berries, plump purple figs, or last peaches doesn't go to waste. Because a bottle of jewel-colored, summer fruit-infused vodka will never go to waste. Trust me on this.

Infused vodka made with fresh ingredients–or anything with the potential to spoil–should be refrigerated because it will expire. Infusions made with dried or preserved ingredients, however, do not require refrigeration.

However, there are exceptions. For example, if you are infusing your vodka with fruit, it is perfectly fine to let it sit in the fridge for a full week prior to serving. Your guests may even comment on how it tastes more like syrup than liquor.

It's unique, fruity flavor is the perfect base for any of your favorite classic co*cktail recipes. Its distinct yet not overpowering sweetness makes it a great stand alone drink on the rocks.

A Note on Infusion Containers

As Chris does in the video, you can use a beverage server, but we find that Mason jars or other similar glass jars or sealable glass containers work best. Whatever you choose, make sure you have a really clean container– especially if you're reusing something like a pasta sauce jar.

Infused spirits are best enjoyed within three months, but will never go bad.

How long to soak fruit in alcohol? ›

So you can soak them even for a month, 15 days, 5 days or even the night before you bake. I would recommend, if you don't have much time and want to soak the fruit asap, you can warm the alcohol, ever so gently as you don't want to evaporate the alcohol in the liquid – before adding it to the dried fruit.

As part of the Carriage House Imports family of products, Figenza represents the essence of the Mediterranean soul as the fig vodka market leader.

Boukha (Tunisian Arabic: بوخة) is a distilled beverage produced from figs. It originated in the Tunisian Jewish community, where most of it is still produced.

Alkalinity breaks down the structure of plant cell walls. I assume the purpose of this baking soda bath is to soften the structure of the fig. That's why yours softened so much. If you want to maintain the structure of the fig, try using an acidic bath, as acidity helps to maintain plant cell structure.

Infused spirits are best enjoyed within three months, but they will never go bad. See our co*cktail recipes for ideas on how to use your infused alcohol. Fill your infusion kit to the top with the spirit of your choice. (Make sure to fill all the way to the rim of the jar for maximum infusion volume.)

Store the Pineapple infused vodka in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. The vodka won't spoil, however, pineapples are perishable and after 2 weeks the pineapple flavor will not taste as fresh.

On an empty stomach, blood alcohol concentration peaks about one hour after consumption, depending on the amount drunk; it then declines in a more or less linear manner for the next four hours.

The time it takes for alcohol to kick in is usually around 10 minutes, depending on the strength of your drink and how fast you drink it. The full impact can take longer, such as the blood sugar effect for people with diabetes.
