Every year around this time, my brother and I get hit with a double whammy- our dad’s birthday and Father’s Day in the same week!  We wanted to make something different for him this year, so Brad and I decided to make 3 different kinds of infused vodkas.  We had extra ingredients, so we ended up making a batch for our friends too!  Hope you enjoy!
