to make the Cantaloupe Grapefruit Martini

  • Place cantaloupe from infusion jar into food processor.

Notes

Infuse the Cantaloupe vodka in the refrigerator for a minimum of 24 hours.  The longer the vodka infuses, the more cantaloupe flavor it will take on. After 5 days, pour the vodka off the fruit and store sealed in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
