Frozen Vodka

Ingredients

• 1 (750-milliliter) cylindrical bottle vodka
• Flowers or thinly sliced fruit

Directions

• 1.

  Place the vodka bottle into a fully opened half-gallon cardboard milk or juice carton.

• 2.

  Insert flowers or thinly sliced fruit (we used holly, cranberry, lime slices, red roses, and white pine branches) around bottle, filling one-third of the carton.

• 3.

  Pour water into container, just covering fruit and flowers.

• 4.

  Place upright in the freezer.

• 5.

  When completely frozen, add another layer of fruit and very cold water, and freeze.

• 6.

  Repeat steps 2 through 5, filling and freezing a third time, so that fruit and flowers do not float to the top, until water reaches bottle neck.

• 7.

  Remove from freezer just before serving; cut away milk carton with a utility knife.
