A lot of people are into fermenting their own beer and even making wine, and even though distilling alcohol is illegal, you can still infuse your own spirits and make them your own! Not only is making homemade liquor easy and cheap, but it’s also a really fast process, so you can have a gorgeous personalized liquor in no time!

Strawberry

Strawberry flavored liquors can taste a little too sweet and artificial, so during the summer months make it at home yourself! All you have to do is add 14 oz of cut strawberries to a jar with 2 tablespoons of superfine sugar, and 750 ml of vodka. Leave the bottle for 3-7 days and you’ll have a bright red, fresh vodka to use all year long.

Apples

Once fall comes around, there will be so many apples you won’t know what to do with yourself! One of the best things to try is using those apples to make drinks like apple brandy, apple infused bourbon, or really apple infused into any sort of brown liquor. The caramel notes of dark liquor go great with the apples and you’ll really be able to make a great apple cider or punch of it.
