Homemade Citrus Infused Vodka for JamieOliver.com

April 11, 2014

It’s all going on! As Easter approaches, I’m happily marking the one-year milestone of writing a weekly blog for JamieOliver.com. My very first post was published just before Easter last year and focused on the Italian dish of lasagne as an alternative to a traditional Easter Sunday lunch, with a second Easter post focusing on the perfect roast. Since then, I’ve been able to settle into my ‘home-from-home’ writing about a whole host of foodie topics, which have included ideas for cooking with kids, as well as themed round-ups and highlights of some of my favourite hand-picked recipes from Jamie’s site. I’m marking my second year by taking a slightly new direction – my blog posts will now often feature some of my own exclusive recipes and photos. There are always plenty of exciting things going on at Jamie HQ. Most recently, the team marked the launch of a brand new site dedicated to all things drinkable Drinks Tube and so in my latest post, I’ve joined the party by contributing an exclusive recipe for a homemade citrus infused vodka – based on my Polish favourite Cytrynówka. I hope you’ll be able to pop over and read some of the posts over in the News and Blogs section of the JamieOliver.com site in the weeks (and hopefully) months to come!

I’d love to say a big thank you to Jim Tanfield for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the team and for guiding me editorially throughout the year. A second shout-out goes to Merlin Jobst, as well as to my fellow bloggers, who are all brilliantly placed to share some of the coolest content on the web.

    Have you ever tried using high pressure or heat to speed up the infusion?

    Congratulations on your anniversary. When coming to vodka cocktail vodka will taste good with citrus flavor. I always have my favorite Anestasia Vodka with different citrus flavors like lime, orange and grape.

    Congratulations on your first year Jamie-versary! It must be quite an effort to not only blog for other sites in such a professional manner but to keep up your own TWO personal blogs and have a family life. Are you in fact Superwoman? We should be told 😉

    I LOVE infused vodka Ren and I always make some spiced ones at Christmas! However, your wonderful citrus infused vodka is JUST perfect for spring and an Easter tipple, and such lovely photos too. Karen

      Thank you Karen – yes it’s a nice stop-gap before all the summer fruits kick in – then the cherry vodkas and plum vodkas can make an appearance 🙂

    I love infusions and like anything with lemon so a little bottle of this could be starring in my kitchen soon. Congratulations Ren – you deserve all your success. Say hi to Merlin and team – the evening at Fifteen was one of the foodie highlights of last year.

      Hi Sally, thank you so much. I did say Ho to Merlin, such a nice chap. I agree, the supper club at Fifteen was super enjoyable and I got to me Gennaro too at the next one. Fingers crossed for another event soon!
