It has a naturally bright and spiced flavor that will leave you smiling and thinking of Fall.I’m beyond thrilled and honored to be partnering withEverclear®to come up with fun infusions this year. I had no idea just how crazy easy it is to make Everclear transform into fun flavored vodkas, liqueurs, or schnapps.

Everclear has created a GORGEOUS website,Make It Your Own by Everclear®, where they have compiled tons of amazing recipes for infusions; everything fromChocolate LiqueurtoChai Vodka. You might remember that I’ve already made Peach Tea Vodka and Strawberry Shortcake Vodka this year. SO easy and SO FUN. Everclearis a 190 proof grain alcohol with no taste,making it the perfect clean slate for flavors.

It’s fast to pull flavor from the ingredients you’re addingand you don’t even need much! It should be diluted 1:1 with filtered water because of its strength (important step!). One bottle goes a long way, making this SO cost effective. The possibilities are endless, not to mention fun! This Homemade Apple Vodkais pretty much fool-proof, and I have a feeling you’re going to love it!

How to Make Homemade Apple Pie Vodka

Making your own vodka might sound tough, but we’ve got it easy with this recipe. We’re just adding the delicious apple pie flavors into vodka by letting it sit to soak up all of the apple and cinnamon flavor.

Fill mason jar with sliced apples and cinnamon sticks.
Pour in the vodka and fill to the brim.
Seal the jar and give it a light shake, then store it in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours.
