Spiced Vodka for Autumn Libations
The air is crisp and the clouds and drizzly rain have rolled in. Nothing sounds more appealing than a cup of hot apple cider with a shot of spiced vodka thrown in. So, here it goes:
Start with 750 mL of vodka
Day 1: Add a stick of cinnamon. Let it infuse for 10 days
.
.
.
Day 10: Add 3 split nutmegs. Infuse for 3 more days
.
.
.
Day 28: Ok, at day 13 I was planning to add the cloves and allspice, but totally spaced it. Sooo, the nutmeg and cinnamon infused for 2 extra weeks. Was very nutmeggy (in a good way) at this point, but I wanted more of a multi-spice flavor. I added a fresh cinnamon stick, 20 cloves and 5 whole allspice. Infuse for 2 days
.
.
.
Day 30: Filter out all spices using cheese cloth. Mix with apple cider, warm up, and enjoy! Its absolutely delicious!!

Greetings, Carrie! I am trying to stage a benefit, "Seattle Remembers Sammy" to console bereft Lisa McKibben and also to heighten awareness of this hidden hazard. I held a similar function for shock victim, Celia Sing, to commemorate her beloved Husky's electrocution (Please see The New York Times piece in StreetZaps News). I hope you may interested in supporting this saddened dog walker and helping to preclude more potential injuries and fatalities as Seattle vaunts a progressive, caring character and is a world exemplar.
