Recipe information

  • Yield

    <p>Makes 24 Servings</p>

Ingredients

1/2 cup picked-over blueberries
a 750-ml. bottle Absolut Citron vodka

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash and dry blueberries. Pour off about 2 tablespoons vodka (just enough for a teeny Martini) to make room for blueberries. Put berries in bottle of vodka. Let vodka stand at room temperature 3 days. Freeze aquavit in bottle at least 8 hours, or until ice-cold, and up to 3 days. (Because of its high alcohol content, aquavit will remain liquid.)

    Step 2

    Pour aquavit into a decanter and serve ice-cold.
