A late post on the finished strawberry.

Well, I actually bottled the strawberry on March 20, but I haven't done an update until now for some reason. Anyway, I sampled it again in the jar and decided that the flavor was quite strong of fresh strawberry such that there was only a mild hint of vodka burn, and I was scared to let it go for any longer in fear of the alcohol disappearing as in the apple experiment.

The second batch of strawberries wasn't quite as ghostly as the first batch, but I felt that they had given up plenty of their flavor, and the color of the vodka was great.


I filtered out the strawberries through some cheesecloth, poured it into a bottle, and it was done.




This is easily mine and Alexa's very favorite so far, and we were interested in comparing it to Smirnoff's artificially flavored variety of strawberry vodka. We poured a half shot of each kind, and sampled the Smirnoff first. It tasted like... I don't know... a strawberry lollipop. So, basically fake. Beyond that it's very harsh of alcohol.

My strawberry tastes like fresh strawberries. It smells like fresh strawberries, it looks like fresh strawberries, it doesn't feel much like fresh strawberries, but it probably sounds like fresh strawberries (had to get all five senses).

Strawberry experiment: ULTIMATE SUCCESS
