Fruit Kabobs Infused with Passionfruit Vodka


Fruits are always great at barbeques and pool parties, but they are even better when infused with passionfruit vodka! In this particular fruit kabob, I used cantaloupe, mango, and strawberries and soak them in fresh citrus juices from oranges and limes. I think watermelon would also work really well because they're succulent and absorbent.


Ingredients:

  • 10 small navel oranges
  • 6 key limes or 3 regular limes
  • 1 cantaloupe
  • 3 mangos
  • 1-2 lb. of strawberries
  • 20 wooden skewers
  • passionfruit vodka
  • cranberry juice

Instructions:
  1. Rinse and clean all of the fruit.
  2. Slice the oranges and 2 limes. Squeeze the juices into a medium size bowl. Add a splash of cranberry juice and add however much vodka your heart desires. 
  3. With one skewer, poke holes in the strawberries, and toss them into the bowl to soak. Next, cut the cantaloupe into squarish pieces, and toss them in with the strawberries. Lastly, peel the skin off of the mangos with a vegetable peeler, slice the mangos into squarish pieces, and add them to the fruit mixture. Mix well.
  4. Let it sit in the fridge over night or for a few hours, so the fruit can soak up the juices and alcohol.
  5. Slide the strawberries on the skewers first and last so it can hold the rest of the fruit in place. Drizzle the remaining juices and the last lime over the skewers, and chill them in the refrigerator until your party starts!

Costs:

  • 5 oranges- $2.00
  • 6 key limes or 3 regular limes- $1.00
  • 1 cantaloupe- $0.77
  • 3 mangos- $1.50
  • 1-2 lb. of strawberries. $2.00
  • 20 wooden skewers
  • passionfruit vodka, I used three olives vodka

Approximate Total Cost: $7 for about 15-20 skewers 
(+ $ of alcohol)
