What is Strawberry Vodka?
You could probably guess this, but strawberry vodka is just a vodka that has been infused with the flavor of strawberries. This one also takes on the vibrant color of the berries, too.
There are a number of commercially available brands of strawberry vodka out there on the shelves. You've probably seen Smirnoff, Pinnacle, Effen, Beattie's, Svedka, etc.
While convenient, those store bought brands got nothin' on the fresh flavor and gorgeous red color of my homemade strawberry vodka!
Ingredients
This recipe only needs TWO ingredients. They're pictured and discussed below. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Strawberries: You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries, according to your preference. Talk about convenient!
- Vodka: When it comes to infusing vodka, you want to use something that is of good quality (like Smirnoff or Tito's), but not necessarily something of very good quality (like Belvedere). Basically, you want to use something that you enjoy drinking, but you don't need to break the bank on something top shelf.
Substitutions or Variations
- Use frozen berries. You can use fresh OR frozen berries for this recipe.
- Use different fruit(s). If strawberry vodka drinks aren't your bag, you could always make raspberry vodka, cherry vodka, or whatever flavor your little heart desires. Maybe get a little crazy and use a variety of fruits.

Recipe FAQs
Yes! You can use frozen strawberries, if you prefer.
Allow the strawberries to infuse into the vodka for 3-5 days. You can taste it a bit along the way and stop whenever you're happy with it.
It should keep well for about 6 weeks when stored at room temperature, and for about 3 months when stored in the fridge.
Use something that's good, but not too good. You don't need to use top shelf vodka, but you also don't want to use something that you wouldn't want to drink on its own.
