Jamie Oliver shared a recipe for infused vodka on his YouTube channel in the past. It features vodka infused with cinnamon, cloves, and orange — typical ingredients that remind everyone of winter. I was quite enthusiastic when I saw the video and decided to make this recipe at home.
In this post, I will share how I make Jamie’s infused vodka, along with a link to the labels I designed and the products I used. For the exact ingredients, you have to watch Jamie’s recipe, which I have shared below.
First, I bought a couple of empty glass bottles on Amazon. They come in different sizes; I bought the 0.5 liter ones, which equals 17 fl oz.
I followed all the steps in Jamie’s recipe video and shook the bottles a bit after closing them. I used vodka from the brand “Three Sixty,” but you can use any brand you like.
Then, I designed some labels and printed them in color. I chose colors that match the ingredients and the winter vibe and theme. I named this recipe “Winter Vodka” because I feel it can be enjoyed throughout the entire winter, not just during Christmas. I used a regular glue stick to attach the labels to the bottles.
You can cut the labels with scissors or, like me, with a ruler and knife. I prefer cutting with a ruler and razor knife for a straighter outcome.
If you want to use the same labels as I did, you can download them for free here:
As Jamie described in his video, he recommends letting the bottle rest for at least 3 days. The colour of the vodka changes to a more goldish/brownish hue as the cinnamon releases its flavour. I took pictures of the bottles one day after making them.
Over time, the flavors merge, and the taste becomes more intense. I recommend shaking the bottles before serving the vodka. You can drink the vodka as a shot, mix it with tonic, or make a Margarita cocktail.
