Taste Test: Pomegranate and Mint Infused Vodkas

Its been a week since I attempted to infused vodka with pomegranate and mint (separately, not together!). So its time to taste test! My thoughts:

Pomegranate Infused Vodka: I think this one needs to sit a bit longer. The pomegranate flavor isn't very strong, and the seeds are just starting to lose their color. The color of the vodka is a very pale pink. I'll check back in another week.

Mint Infused Vodka: In this case, the mint has definitely infused! Maybe a bit too much- next time I wouldn't leave the mint in for a week. At the moment, the taste of the vodka has a strong resemblance to toothpaste. In addition, the mint leaves are looking pretty tired. But once I strained the mint leaves out and added the vodka to hot chocolate, in lieu of peppermint schnapps, it tasted pretty good!
