Place the smashed garlic and basil in a pint sized jar. Pour the vodka over top. Place the lid on the jar and give it a good shake. Place on your counter and allow to infuse for at least 48 hours. Shake the jar 1-2 times per day.

After 48 hours, strain the infused vodka into a bowl using a fine mesh strainer.

Pour the vodka back into the pint jar.

Use for your favorite bloody mary and martini cocktails.

Enjoy!
