This idea was conjured up solely for a friends party, just something to use as a sweeter without having to worry about mixing multiple ingredients every time for each round of shots. Bubblegum being a flavor most people enjoy and sweet enough to be able to mask most of the alcohol burn on its own without needing to add anything. So it ends up being one of the easiest infusions I've ever done and fairly quick compared to past infusions that have taken over 2 weeks. Without further ado, here is the recipe:
(2) 1lb bags of individually wrapped Double Bubble bubblegum.
 |
| Bubblegum Infused Vodka |
That's it. Just unwrap each piece of gum and place in your container. I used a 1.75 liter bottle of Enchanted Rock vodka for 2 pounds of bubblegum and let it sit for about 5 days. Run it through a cheesecloth/mesh strainer combo and bottle it back up. Taste just like vodka with damn near no burn. Great for a straight chilled shot.
We also later found out that you can mix it with a little bit of Ginger Ale and a splash of cranberry juice, chilled and strained into a martini glass with a bubblegum flavored Pop Rocks rim for an excellent martini.
Enjoy,
S.M.
