This Thai-inspired martini is herbaceous, bold, and refreshing.
Using fresh lemongrass stalks, we will make our own lemongrass-infused vodka.

Let’s hit the (home) bar!

# Lemongrass-infused vodka
Ingredients:
– 1 large stalks of fresh lemongrass, roughly chopped
– 185 ml of vodka (appx. a quarter of a vodka bottle)
