This flavoured vodka couldn’t be any easier to make. The sweet spices blend so the vodka looses it’s harshness and you are left with a soft, velvety smoothness that really does taste like Christmas pudding. Pour into quaint bottles to give to friends and family as a truly unique homemade gift. Or keep it for yourself so you can have your own cheeky little cocktail on a warm winter Christmas evening!
