Ingredients

2 x 125g punnets Driscoll's raspberries

100gcaster sugar

1 vanilla bean, split lengthways

700mlvodka

Method

  1. Mixture

    Put the raspberries, sugar, vanilla bean and vodka in a 1L sterilised jar. Seal and give it a shake occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Leave to infuse in a cool dark place for 4–7 days or until the vodka is well-flavoured and takes on the colour of the raspberries. Shake the jar occasionally.

  2. Storage

    Strain and pour vodka into a sterilised airtight bottle. Store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

  3. Serving

    Serve over ice, as is, or with soda or tonic water. Try adding a dash to prosecco. Finish with a fresh raspberry or two if you like

  4. Handy hint

    Add a small handful of bruised rose geranium or lemon verbena leaves with the raspberries for a flavour twist.
