  1. Infusing vodka with citrus is certianly easy and works well. The skin of one lemon, orange, or grapefruit gives off enough oil to accent a liter of vodka. You can buy a channel knife for $2.50. The shallow scrape of the tool avoids the pith leaving the bitterness behind and makes a small enough piece that it can be shoved directly into the bottle rather than having to transfer the spirit into a larger jar. Kaffir lime leaves, pineapple, ginger, as well as pepper and horseradish work well. I am currently attempting sage, but I'll have to get back to you on it. Typically no more than a few days are needed before the flavor is noticable. I have also found that raspberries infuse well with gin, preferrably one with a high juniper content. I'm a naturalist in regards to these things and must say that just the thought of infusing candy with vodka or adding sucrose makes my teeth ache. But, if you enjoy it then by all means continue. Best.
