Marshmallow Vodka

Marshmallow Vodka is such a tasty and easy recipe to make, and it's great in lots of cocktail recipes! With just two ingredients, it's simple to put together, and just needs some waiting time to get the most marshmallow flavor into the vodka. You'll definitely want to have this on hand for the fall and winter seasons!

Marshmallow definitely has its own subtle vanilla-ish flavor. This vodka tastes just like it, but is still almost as strong as regular vodka! I like to make this in the fall especially, to use in my S'Mores Martini recipe!

This vodka would also go well in the Vanilla Lime Refresher cocktail, or any drink that uses vanilla vodka, like the Pistachio Martini or Sugar Cookie Eggnog.

Ingredients

The only ingredients you'll need to make this are plain vodka, and marshmallows!

You can use mini marshmallows or large ones. I find that the minis have more corn starch, so I tend to use the larger ones.

If you know how to make homemade marshmallows, you can add the marshmallow fluff to the vodka instead (before it sets) and just skip adding the cornstarch!

Substitutions

If you want to use something other than vodka, try using rum or whiskey.

For the marshmallows, you can also try using store-bought marshmallow fluff instead of a bag of marshmallows.

Variations

You can use flavored marshmallows if you want to add a different flavor to this vodka infusion!

Or, try toasting the marshmallows before infusing them into the vodka!

If you want to make this recipe vegan, just use vegan marshmallows and follow the recipe as written. The regular kind is made with gelatin, but you can look for a brand that uses a different thickener instead.

Equipment

You'll need a large mason jar, an airtight storage bottle, and a funnel to make this recipe. A long bar spoon will also come in handy!

If you want to go through the step of straining out the corn starch, you'll also need a coffee filter and some kind of container to filter the liquid into. I love using my pour-over coffee maker for this.

Instructions

Add the marshmallows and vodka to a large mason jar, and stir the mixture together.

Seal up the mason jar and let it sit at room temperature. Shake the jar occasionally.

After about 2 days, the marshmallows should be fully dissolved in the vodka. (If there are some left undissolved, it is fine, you can still use it after the 2 days.)

There will be a layer of corn starch from the marshmallows at the bottom of the liquid. You don't *have* to filter this out, but it tastes a lot better if you do!

Set up a coffee filter and container (a pour-over coffee maker works great for this) and pour the liquid through the filter.

Let it filter through for about an hour, or until it stops dripping through the filter.

Throw away the corn starch, and use the funnel to pour the filtered vodka into a glass storage bottle.

You can use it right away, or seal up the bottle for later! It is shelf stable and will last as long as regular vodka.

Top tip

If you want to speed up the dissolving process, you can try cutting up your large marshmallows into smaller pieces. They do float, so really the best thing is to shake it up often so all the marshmallows get coated by the liquid!
