Toffee Vodka Recipes

TOFFEE VODKA

Steps:

• Unwrap the toffees and put in a plastic food bag and smash with a rolling pin to break them into small pieces. Tip the toffee shards into the sterilised jar, then add the sugar and a pinch of sea salt.
• Pour the vodka over the toffee mixture and stir. Leave in a cool dark place for two days or until the toffees have dissolved. Shake the jar twice a day during this time.
• Once the toffee and sugar has dissolved, line a funnel with a coffee filter paper and set it over the sterilised bottle. Slowly pour the mixture through. Seal and store in a cupboard for up to three months, and shake before serving.

HOW TO MAKE TOFFEE VODKA

Steps:

• Sterilise the mason jar to ensure it's free from all bacteria
• Tip the toffees into the jar
• Pour the vodka over the toffees.
• Give the jar a good shake and leave to macerate for a few days. Shake every few hours, or whenever you remember.
• When the toffees have fully dissolved you can decant the toffee vodka into your small gift bottles.

TOFFEE VODKA

Steps:

• Put all the toffees in a wide-necked jar. Then add the vodka.
• Seal and swirl the jar to mix. Leave for 5 days to a week, giving your toffee vodka time to infuse. Swirl regularly to help the toffees to melt. You can stand the jar next to a radiator to speed up the process if you need to.
• When the toffees have dissolved, you will have an opaque vodka drink that looks a bit like Irish cream. You can bottle it like this or decide to filter it. I find that filtering produces a smoother drink.
• To filter, set either a coffee filter or a sieve lined with kitchen paper over a jug and pour the vodka in. This can be a slow process, and will take several hours. At the end, you will be left with a delicious soft toffee cream in the filter. Don't throw this away, as it is delicious on desserts or added to hot chocolate. Keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
• Bottle your vodka and store it in a cool, dark cupboard.
