Sweet almond marzipan delicately flavours this delicious drink.
Add a splash to some prosecco or serve long over ice with tonic and a slice of clementine.

Add the vodka, lemon zest and marzipan to a large Kilner jar or suitable container.
Leave for at least two weeks, shaking every now and then, before straining through a fine muslin cloth back into the original vodka bottle. As time goes on, the marzipan will break down, turning the vodka milky looking. This is fine; straining the mixture will produce a clear vodka with a faint pale-yellow colour.
