Starburst Infused Vodka!

Kick Off Your Weekend
Party Plans With 
Starburst Infused Vodka! 
How to make Starburst Infused Vodka? 

First, separate the Starburst for the different infusions. Color by color or if your feeling a little wild, mix up the flavors. 

Remove the wrappers and put into mason jars or empty water bottles (basically anything that has a lid, fits in the fridge, and is shakeable). 12-14 starburst per jar. 

Fill containers with vodka. As much as you can handle! 

Cover with lid and put in fridge until Starburst are fully dissolved (takes about 48 hours). Shake as often as possible.

Once the candy is dissolved, strain the vodka through cheesecloth to remove the foam and any little candy particles still there. You might have to strain a few times. You can also have fun eating the starburst particles, if your living life on the edge! 

Finally, pour into the glass of your choice! 

Enjoy! 



You can use the infused vodka in many different cocktail creations, Stay tunned for the recipes! 

Replace the vodka in a Lemon Drop Martini  with Lemon Starburst Vodka.

Use Cherry Starburst Vodka in the Cherry Bomb Cocktail.

Orange Starburst Vodka would work in the Orange Creamsicle Martini.

Keep it classy and mix the vodka with soda water, drink straight over ice, or as a shot.

Let your imagination go wild with the possibilities.

#SVEDKAShakedown

SoHo Beach House- Any night is a good night while spent at the SoHo Beach House, but this Monday night was a especially festive. In House Ideas hosted the SVEDKA Shake Down event. The event consisted of a tournament between five of the best bartenders in the nation. A few of the finalist were Trevor Alberts (IG: trevortiki), Oxana Parfenova (IG: oxanav87) and Randal Perez (IG: randy1221). 


While the challengers were hard at work crafting innovative cocktails using an array of SVEDKA flavors, guests were offered a choice of five cocktails to order. These cocktails were handcrafted by each one of the contestants, and the favorite of the night was the rosemary lullaby.



Although all of the cocktails satisfied any taste bud there could only be one winner of the mixology challenges, the dashingly handsome Randal Perez. You can find him mixing up some of Miami's best cocktails at the Broken Shaker Lounge located inside of the hipster hostel Freehand Miami (2727 Indian Creek Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33140). 

If you want to try out some of the cocktails served please see below a snapshot of all of the options.
