I have a weaknes in my heart for homemade Christmas gifts and I thought it was time to finally share some fun Paleo food ideas that you can give this year.

I was kicking around the idea of making Kahlua but then I remembered I had given up coffee. What’s a girl to do? I decided to share how to make chocolate vodka.

How to Make Chocolate Vodka

Ingredients you will need to make this recipe:

  • vodka
  • cacao nibs
  • filtered water
  • Swerve
Ingredient that you need to make chocolate vodka - cacoa nibs and gluten free vodka

This recipe is simple as pie but it does take several days for the flavor to infuse.  I will let mine sit for up to 2 weeks but you can use it after 7 days. 

How to Make Chocolate Vodka Step 1:

  1. Add the vodka and cacao nibs to a mason jar and cover with a lid.
  2. Let sit on the counter for 7 to 10 days.

How to Make Chocolate Vodka Final Steps

  1. In a small sauce pan over medium heat add the water and the swerve.
  2. Bring to a boil and then remove from the stove and let cool. Set aside.
  3. Strain the vodka through a cheesecloth and into a glass jar with a cap.
  4. Add in the cooled simple syrup and let set on our counter overnight.
  5. Refrigerate any unused portion.

I am a big fan of White Russian Cocktails. It was  my drink of choice when I hit the young age of 21.

I haven’t had one in ages since I rarely drink but I added a splash of the chocolate vodka to cream over ice and it was heavenly.  It’s definitely an adult version of chocolate milk.

    I just whipped up a batch last night. I use a cordial making machine from the eighties. It uses radiant energy to make the cordials in half a day rather than weeks or months. I am letting it sit in a jar for a few days. By Sunday it should be ready to taste. I’ll let you know how it is. Thanks for the great recipe. I did use all vodka instead of part water. I have really been missing my Cupcake vodka in Devil’s Food.

    once all the steps are completed does it need to be refrigerated if not drunk right away?

    Wow what an awesome idea to do an infusion! I used to love using different liquor flavors, but once I found out how unhealthy they were I stopped using them, but it never occurred to me to make my own!
