SUPER GENIUS VODKA INFUSION
1 1/2 liter Grey Goose Vodka
1 pineapple
1/2 watermelon
2 baskets strawberries
7-Up
Cut all pineapple and fruit so no rind of any kind is left behind.
Wash and rewash the watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries. Cut the
strawberries into halves, the pineapple and watermelon into bigger
than a bite-sized pieces.
Layer a "sun tea" (preferably with spigot at bottom) with one fruit at
a time. Start with strawberry or watermelon, as they are more
fragrant and will gather more taste at the bottom, where the vodka
exits the container. Fill container to top with fruit.
Pour vodka over fruit until covered. Screw on top and let sit minimum
2 weeks in refrigerator.
To serve, mix 3 parts infusion with one part 7-Up (diet or regular) in
a martini glass and serve with small piece of fruit as garnish.
