Wine and Vodka Grapes Recipe
If you’ve tried Prosecco Grapes and wanted more flavor, try these wine and vodka grapes with blueberries. These boozy grapes and blueberries are bursting with flavor from the grape-flavored vodka and the sweet wine. Lightly coated in sugar, these grapes and blueberries are the most popular and perfect snack on the table.
So, let’s jump into making these boozy grapes and blueberries:
Vodka Grapes and Blueberries Ingredients
2 cups seedless green grapes
2 cups seedless red grapes
2 cups blueberries, preferably jumbo-size
1/2 cup grape-flavored vodka (such as Alize Grape)
1 bottle Moscato Wine 750 ml
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
How to Make Vodka Grapes and Blueberries
Prep: Remove grapes from the stems and thoroughly wash them along with the blueberries.
Combine: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups green grapes, 2 cups red grapes, and 2 cups blueberries. Pour in the 1/2 cup of vodka and 1 bottle of Moscato Wine. Give it a gentle stir to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Chill: Refrigerate with the lid on for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Strain: After allowing the alcohol to infuse, separate the liquids from the fruit. You can reserve the flavorful liquids for cocktail hour. Set aside the fruit for the next step. Tip: Make sure there is just enough liquid left on the fruit to ensure the sugar will stick. Too much liquid will melt the sugar.
Coat: Pour 1/2 cup white granulated sugar onto the cookie sheet, then pour the fruit on top of the sugar. Lightly shake or roll the cookie sheet to coat the fruit. It helps if it has a higher border around it so the sugar can’t escape. You can also use a spoon to help distribute the sugar evenly.
Serve: Once the grapes and blueberries are fully coated with sugar, they’re ready to be served cold. You can also freeze them briefly and enjoy frozen grapes as a treat on a sunny day. Enjoy!!
Vodka & Prosecco Grapes Recipe Troubleshooting
The sugar isn’t sticking to the fruit. What’s wrong?
The grapes and blueberries might be too dry or too wet. Ensure there’s a thin layer of liquid on the fruit so the sugar has something to cling to. If the fruit is too wet, let it sit in a strainer for a few minutes to drain excess liquid (too much liquid will melt the sugar).
The fruit is too mushy. How can I fix it?
Make sure you’re not soaking the fruit for more than 48 hours. If the fruit is still too mushy, next time, try using firmer grapes and blueberries, and check them at the 12-hour mark.
Pairing Ideas
- Cheese Platters: These boozy grapes and blueberries pair perfectly with a cheese platter. Try them with brie, gouda, or a sharp cheddar.
- Cocktails: Use the reserved alcohol mixture to make cocktails. Simply mix the leftover alcohol with sparkling water or tonic to make an easy cocktail.
- Desserts: Add them to a dessert spread alongside chocolate fondue, cheesecakes, and panna cotta.
- Brunch: Serve these at brunch alongside mimosas, pancakes, or French toast.
- Picnics: Pack them for a picnic as a fun and boozy snack that pairs well with sandwiches, salads, and a chilled bottle of white wine. Make sure to pack the fruit in a cooler with ice packs, and don’t let them sit directly in the sun or heat too long.
Boozy Grapes FAQs
How long does it take for grapes to absorb alcohol?
Grapes and blueberries absorb alcohol in about 12 hours. However, you can continue to let them chill in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
Does fruit soaked in alcohol go bad?
Fruit soaked in alcohol generally has a longer shelf life than fresh fruit due to the alcohol’s preservative effects. However, the exact duration before alcohol-infused fruit goes bad can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fruit, alcohol concentration, and storage conditions. For grapes and blueberries, I recommend storing them in the fridge for up to two days or in the freezer for up to a month.
Can I substitute grape-infused vodka for regular vodka?
Absolutely. Grape vodka enhances the flavor, making the vodka grapes and blueberries even more flavorful, but these grapes and blueberries are still absolutely delicious infused with regular vodka. You can also experiment with other flavors to see what you like best.
Can I substitute Moscato for Prosecco?
Of course. Vodka grapes (also known as prosecco vodka grapes) are traditionally made with prosecco. However, I like Moscato because of its even sweeter taste.
How is this recipe different than prosecco vodka grapes?
Traditional prosecco vodka grapes use regular vodka and prosecco, while this recipe uses grape-infused vodka and Moscato. I’ve also added blueberries to this recipe for extra flavor. If you like prosecco vodka grapes, then I highly recommend you try this recipe.
