Ok, are you ready for round two of infused vodka mania? This week we’re getting a hair crazier and infusing our vodka with coffee. Coffee is an even quicker infusion than the citrus we made last week. My infusion was super strong after only a day in the pantry. Just one whiff of that stuff and you’ll be awake for good.

So you’ve got your infusion made, now you just have to make a tasty cocktail. Well, I’ve got a simple and delicious one for you to try, although it does take a little thinking ahead of time. That’s because you need to make coffee ice cubes. Once you’ve got that done you just add some of the coffee infused vodka, a little vanilla syrup to sweeten it up a bit and then top it off with a bit of seltzer. Shazam, you just made a delicious coffee delight cocktail.

This week is a super duper happy hour because I’m actually in California. My awesome friends Erik and Dana are getting married and I just couldn’t be happier for them. I’ll be back to making stuff mid next week. Until then, have a great weekend. Cheers!
