Preparation
- Step 1
Slice the citrus in thick wheels and place it in a clean container (glass or hard plastic) with a wide mouth and a tight-fitting lid. Add the sugar, vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, the rosé and the vodka.
- Step 2
Stir this well with a spoon (not wooden, as it may harbor bacteria that could inhibit fermentation) and fasten the lid. Keep the jar in the refrigerator, shaking occasionally to dissolve the sugar. After about 6 weeks, mix in ¼ cup dark rum and strain everything through a fine strainer or several layers of cheesecloth. Store in bottles at a cool room temperature or in the refrigerator; it will last indefinitely.

I put a batch of this up on May 1st but now I notice the citrus has little white spots all over it, and it seems to be a little effervescent. Does that mean it's spoiled?
I make this every year to give as Christmas gifts. Since I have started making bread during Covid, I found my Cambro 4-liter container for proofing bread is great for this too. I use large organic navel oranges and large organic lemons, and pry the vanilla bean open so the seeds can be released into the mixture. After 6 weeks the flavor is pure and refreshing, and better than Campari (which has been made with artificial coloring since 2007). This Vin d'Orange makes a wonderful Negroni.
Need a gallon container for this. Best if it has a wide mouth top.
I think this is the perfect summer drink. Serve it over ice and enjoy the fireflies.
This is unbelievably delicious! Mine wasn’t bitter at all, even right after straining! And the “pickled” fruit is amazing, too! Off to the store to get ingredients for another batch, just made half a recipe this time, it won’t last long!
Love, love, love this recipe. Delicious with club soda or prosecco. Made a double batch in early November and bottled it for friends for a holiday gift.
