A Slice of Spice.

Using fresh orange zest and a bevvy of spices, this vodka gives you the perfect blend of citrus and fall flavors. Mix with just about any vodka cocktail to turn it into an autumn classic.

PREPARATION:

To start, you’ll want to make sure you have all your ingredients on hand: 2 oranges, 4 cloves, 4 allspice berries, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 vanilla bean, 10 oz. Everclear^®, 10 oz. filtered water, 4 oz. white simple syrup. If you don’t have any simple syrup on hand and want to make your own, check out our simple syrup instructions.

First, you’ll need to obtain the zest of your two oranges. Preferably using a microplane as it quickly gives you zest without any of the pith. Then, using a knife, slice the vanilla bean vertically to expose its interior.

Combine your orange zest, vanilla bean, allspice, cloves, cinnamon sticks and Everclear® in a large, sealable container. Let steep in a cool, dry place for 24 hours.

Once steeped to your liking, strain the infusion using a fine mesh strainer or a coffee filter. Then combine the orange spice infusion with water and simple syrup to dilute. After it’s thoroughly mixed, bottle and enjoy.
