1. Wash and peel the fresh ginger root. Slice it thinly into small pieces to maximize surface area for infusion.
2. Place the sliced ginger into a clean, sterilized glass jar or bottle with a secure lid.
3. Pour the vodka over the ginger slices, ensuring the ginger is fully submerged.
4. If you would like a touch of sweetness, add 2 tablespoons of honey to the jar and stir until it dissolves.
5. Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.
6. Let the mixture infuse for 7-10 days, shaking the jar gently once a day to ensure even infusion.
7. After the infusion period, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the ginger slices. Transfer the infused vodka to a clean bottle or jar.
8. Store the ginger vodka in a cool, dark place. It will keep for several months.
9. Enjoy your ginger vodka in cocktails, mixed drinks, or as a zesty shot!
