Our shot/shooter theme drink is one of our simplest and started with a spur-of-the-moment infusion. When cleaning out the fridge before vacation I discovered some fresh mango and limes that were begging to be infused with vodka. You could get creative and use almost any combination of flavors to form the base of this shot. See what's in the fridge, throw it in vodka for a week and see what happens! The mango didn't give up as much juice as I expected so the limes created the primary flavor. For better balance I recommend infusing the mango for a week, then adding the limes for 3 days before straining.
By the way, Double A stands for Absolut Awesome because Absolut is so versatile and infuses so well!
Ingredients:
Citrus-Infused Absolut
Grapes
Simple Syrup
In a shaker add 4-5 red grapes and a splash of simple syrup. Muddle well. Add ice and 1-1.5 oz of infused vodka. Shake well and strain into your favorite shot glass.
The sweetness from the fresh grape juice accentuated by a splash of simple syrup was really tasty and make the Double A easy to throw down. It'll be fun to try with different flavors (or even plain) vodka and rum.
