Craft Your Own Vodka Kit - The Florian
The perfect gift for lovers of artisanal drinks, this exquisitely presented kit is a fun and unique way to create two bottles of bespoke vodka; one of them fruit-based and the other is vanilla-based. Simply add your choice of ingredients to a bottle of supermarket vodka (sold separately) by following the clear and simple instructions. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying your dream drink!
This create-your-own drinks kit is proudly handmade in the UK using only the highest quality ingredients. Founded by husband-and-wife team, Nigel and Lynda, their passion and expertise has led to Craft Your Own products being highly commended for two years running by the Gift of the Year Awards.
This kit makes two bottles of bespoke flavoured vodka.
*Please note, Vodka is not included and needs to be purchased separately.
What’s in my kit?
- Dehydrated blackcurrants • Test tube of vanilla • Sachets of bay leaves and dried lemon
- 70cl glass bottle and stopper • Bottle label • Filter papers • Sieve • Funnel • Pipettes • Instructions
Just add your own 70cl bottle of supermarket brand vodka and some sugar.
Does it work?
We have produced thousands of these kits over the years and if the instructions are followed it is virtually fool proof. It is almost like magic the way a simple bottle of cheap vodka is enhanced with the aid of botanicals!
The method for blackcurrant vodka
Carefully wash the berries under cold water to remove any natural debris. Pat dry and place the fruit in a jug with 90gms of sugar. Now add 70cl of vodka and cover the jug with clingfilm or a lid.
Leave in a dark place for at least two weeks, turning every other day to move the berries and sugar around. Using this method the blackcurrant flavour quickly develops. We have included pipettes to let you taste your vodka as it matures. When infused and the flavour is to your liking, filter the now blackcurrant vodka back into a bottle through the papers provided and enjoy. Don’t forget to add the label with your name to the finished bottle.
If your vodka is too sweet, add more vodka, and if it is too alcoholic add more sugar.
The method for vanilla vodka
Add both pods of vanilla to a bottle of vodka and leave to infuse for a maximum of 96 hours (four days). Use the pipettes provided to taste your vodka daily and when it suits your taste, remove the vanilla and filter it through the papers provided. Enjoy!
For additional flavour you could try decanting some of the finished vanilla vodka and adding the lemon and bay provided. Let this infuse for no longer than 24 hours. The infusion will be enhanced if you place the bottle in your fridge during this second stage infusion. Don’t forget to add the label with your name to the finished bottle.
Hints and tips
Blackcurrant vodka is best sipped on its own or with tonic. Having said that, adding it to Prosecco or Champagne makes a delicious cocktail.
Your vanilla vodka in true Polish style is best drunk neat, If you do need to add tonic we would recommend a very neutral flavoured tonic so you can still taste the vanilla.
Don’t throw your blackcurrants away!
Use these gorgeous berries that have been soaked in alcohol and sugar over ice cream or in chocolate. Very decadent!
