Hi BM - great minds - I have two jars on the go from yesterday - one straight strawberry and one with two vanilla pods chopped into the mix as well. Fingers crossed it will be delish and present worthy!

I just basically filled a jar with fruit, covered in sugar then topped up with cheapy Asda vodka. I have taken it easy on the sugar this time as I made some mandarin vodka last year & was a too syrupy & sweet.

Then just shake it every few days until the sugar has disolved and strain it all off to drink a couple of months or so later. Have one large kilner jar of strawberry and 2 of raspberry on the go now and the liquor is already a lovely red colour. Yum!

I like my fruit liqueurs very sweet. I put the strawberroes (slightly crushed, and over-ripe ones are very good) in a shallow dish, cover with dry sugar (about half the weight of the fruit, or more if you want it as sweet as I do) and leave in the fridge for a week or so.
Strain off the syrup, and rinse the fruit pulp with vodka to get all the sugar and flavour you can (you can squeeze it a bit if you don't mind the liqueur being slightly cloudy). If you started with half-a-pound of strawberries and 4-6 oz sugar you would want to add a little over half-a-pint of vodka in total. This makes about a half litre (sorry about the mixed measures).
The sugar extracts juice, flavour and colour, then dissolves in the juice. The vodka catches any undissolved sugar. It's quicker than the conventional method...

Have made rhubarb vodka this year for the first time, tas been hard keeping it on the 'barb without draining it off and sampling it for so long but I managed. Have got to admit it is absolutely gorgeous, either drunk neat but chilled with a couple of ice cubes or served long over crushed iced and topped up with lemonade, absolutely deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-lish

We just sampled our first rhubarb voddy last weekend, and it was totally yummy! A bit too easy to drink actually. Put it in the freezer for a couple of hours before opening, then just had it neat in shot glasses. Quite syrupy...will definately be trying the other suggestions on here.
