## Vanilla Infusion
Vanilla is a versatile and beloved flavor, offering a rich, warm, and creamy profile that pairs well with a multitude of ingredients. Infusing vodka with vanilla can elevate your cocktails, adding depth and an almost universal appeal.
### Ingredients
#### Vanilla Beans
The primary ingredient for a vanilla infusion is the vanilla bean itself. Choose high-quality, whole vanilla beans for the best flavor.
### Process
1. **Preparation**: Split one or two vanilla beans lengthwise to expose the seeds, which contain much of the aromatic flavor.
2. **Infusion**: Place the split beans into a clean glass jar and fill it with vodka. Generally, one bean per 500ml of vodka is a good starting point.
3. **Duration**: Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake gently every few days to distribute the flavors. The infusion should be ready in about 1 to 4 weeks, depending on how strong you want the vanilla flavor to be.
4. **Completion**: Once the desired intensity is reached, remove the vanilla beans. You can strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve if there are any loose seeds or particles.
### Serving Suggestions
- **Vanilla Martini**: Mix vanilla-infused vodka with a splash of vermouth and a dash of orange bitters.
- **Vanilla Moscow Mule**: Combine vanilla-infused vodka with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime for a twist on the classic Moscow Mule.
- **Creamy Vanilla Cocktail**: Blend vanilla-infused vodka with cream, coffee liqueur, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a luxurious treat.
### Popular Variations
1. **Vanilla-Citrus Vodka**: Add the zest of an orange or a lemon to the infusion jar along with the vanilla beans to create a citrusy, fragrant vodka.
2. **Vanilla-Spice Vodka**: Incorporate spices such as cinnamon sticks or cloves with the vanilla beans for a warm, spiced version thats perfect in autumnal or winter drinks.
3. **Vanilla-Berry Vodka**: After the vanilla has infused, add fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries for a few additional days to achieve a fruity, dessert-like vodka.
Vanilla's natural sweetness and complex flavor profile make it an exceptional candidate for creating a range of infused vodkas. These can be tailored to various tastes and occasions, from simple, elegant martinis to rich, flavorful mixed drinks.
