Pear & Pomegranate Bellini recipe.

It's easy to make your own vanilla mint vodka, which you can then give as holiday gifts. Perfect for making any party feel a little more fancy with a touch of home!

Ingredients: 750ml vodka. 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn.

Instructions: Put vodka, vanilla beans that have been scraped, and torn mint leaves in a clean glass jar. Hold the lid on tight and shake the jar a lot. Put it somewhere cool and dark for at least three days to let the flavors soak in. Every day, give the jar a light shake to mix the contents. The vodka should be strained through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth after three days to get rid of the mint leaves and jelly beans. Put the flavored vodka into a clean bottle or jar to give as a gift. Mark the bottle with the name of the flavor and the date it was made.
