Espresso-infused vodka: The prequel

I know I already did a post on this, but it seems to be a pretty big hit with the twenty-something crowd, maybe further, who knows?

So a little DIY in case you'd like to try an infusion of your own

Stage 1

Pour approx. 2 cups vodka out of a 1.5L bottle

Fill with espresso beans

Stage 2

Nothing but waiting, but just wanted to show the progression

This photo is at about 3 hours

Stage 3

In this case, 18 hours, it's a fluid situation

I found the easiest way to get the coffee beans strained out is with...

you guessed it! a strainer!

Pour over strainer into another bottle or into a different container if you don't have two large bottles

If pouring into another large bottle, a funnel is definitely recommended
