Ideal Bite

The morning of Ideal Bite's first launch party in NYC, a bunch of us on the team were tasked with cutting up ginger, sticking it into some Square One vodka bottles, and calling it infused. Turns out it takes more than six hours to infuse vodka. But assuming you've got even just a few days, you can do it up right.

Diane's infusion advice:

Chop just about any fruit or veggie into many pieces (so there's more surface area for the vodka to touch), and stick them straight in the bottle.

Beginners can try pineapple or any citrus, which infuses in about 3 days (you can leave it in longer, but the skin gets bitter after about 2 weeks).

Also try leaving cinnamon, candied ginger, habanero peppers, or rosemary in the vodka for about a week.
