How to make Infused Liquors at Home?
MOREStep 1: Choose Your Base Liquor
Select a clear spirit like vodka, rum, gin, or tequila. The neutral flavor of the liquor allows the infusion ingredients to shine.
Step 2: Gather Your Ingredients
Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients. Fruits, herbs, spices, and botanicals work well. Wash and prepare the ingredients as needed.
Step 3: Prepare the Container
Clean a glass jar or bottle with hot, soapy water, and ensure it\'s completely dry. Sterilize if necessary.
Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Add your chosen ingredients to the container. Adjust the quantity based on personal taste preferences.
Step 5: Pour in the Liquor
Fill the container with your chosen liquor, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Leave a bit of space at the top to allow for expansion.
Step 6: Seal and Shake
Seal the container tightly and give it a good shake to mix the ingredients. This helps distribute flavors evenly.
Step 7: Store in a Cool Place
Place the container in a cool, dark spot away from direct sunlight. Check the infusion regularly and taste to determine when it\'s ready.
Step 8: Strain and Bottle
Once the infusion reaches the desired flavor, strain out the ingredients using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Transfer the infused liquor to a clean bottle.
Step 9: Enjoy Responsibly
Your homemade infused liquor is now ready to be enjoyed. Use it in cocktails, on the rocks, or get creative with your own concoctions.
Additional Tips:
Tip 1: Temperature Matters
Infusing at room temperature is generally recommended, but cold infusions can work well, especially with delicate flavors. Experiment to find the best method for your chosen ingredients.
Tip 2: Label and Date
Always label your infusions with the ingredients used and the date of creation. This helps you track the flavors and know when it\'s time to consume or discard.
Tip 3: Mix and Match
Combine different infusions to create unique blends. For example, mix a berry-infused vodka with a citrus-infused rum for a delightful cocktail base.
Tip 4: Get Creative with Presentation
Consider creating custom labels for your infused liquors or presenting them in decorative bottles. They also make fantastic homemade gifts.
Tip 5: Document Your Recipes
Keep a record of successful recipes and combinations. This will help you replicate your favorite infusions and avoid repeating any less successful experiments.

Curly Samson Recipe
Blend all ingredients together until they're all mixed up well and ice is chopped even more. Pretty much til it's like a nice smoothie mix.
Malibu Coconut Rum
A Coconut Rum is a White Rum made following the usual fermentation of sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice, then distillation of it into a clear liquid, which is then aged in stainless steel barrels. White Rums are colourless since they are aged in steel barrels where as Dark Rums get their hue from the charred oak barrels they are agedin.
A Coconut Rum is essentially thus a white Rum infused with coconut flavour by steeping coconut meat in Rum and leaving to infuse for at least two weeks. Then once infused, the coconut is filtered out and the flavoured Rum is bottled and sold. From the infusion it attains a rich tropical flavour and creamy texture and is a favourite tropical drink to uplift your mood, where ever you are.Hersheys Chocolate Syrup
Cola in general is a carbonated soft drink flavoured with vanilla,cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus oils and other flavourings and has been popular ever since it's invention by Pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886.
Cola gets it's name from the Kola Nut from which a Cola gets it's caffeine, the original recipe of Pemberton contained cocaine from coca leaves too, and was an non-alcoholic wine. Since it's invention the recipe has been closely guarded and yet replicated by many other brands of which, Pepsi Cola remain to be the major competition of Coca Cola invented and trade marked by Pemberton.
Cola being sweet and having a refreshing flavour profile that includes vanilla on top to a citrus taste with complex flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon and other very oriental herbs, it in itself is a great mixer for so many spirits. Best of course is the neutral Vodka but who doesn't want a Rom and Coca Cola? and have not heard the Andrew Sister's Song Rum and Coca Cola
Note: If you are one of those that are clinically dependent on Coca Cola or Cola in general and drink litres of Cola per day, the SodaStream Diet Cola will be a great alternative for you. It has less sugar and uses sucralose instead of aspartame used in Diet Cola. Each bottle makes 9 litres of Cola. Note that you need the Sodastream Sparkling Water Maker for this. But it's worth the money.Chopped Ice
Ice is so obvious in most drinks, be it a straight drink or a mixed drink, that we often forget it's importance or even reason behind using a crystal clear good quality ice in a glass of whisky, or crushed ice in a tall glass to enjoy a cocktail.
Ice tempers a hard liquor, and as is in the case of whisky for example, if you prefer the flavours of whisky reach your nose without the hard note of spirit lingering around, or want to avoid the mild sting of a neat whisky, a cube of ice mellows the strength down a little and as it melts slowly, the aroma and flavour is released from the whisky slowly and makes whisky progressively weak, lingering and palatable.
Ice in Vodka helps release the little flavour a Vodka has, slowly, instead of letting the Vodka hit your nose all at once,
In mixed drinks, ice plays an important role in creating the perfect temperature a certain drink requires and bartenders use ice in several different ways, crushed ice for long drinks that will allow the cocktail to slowly water down like a Mint Julep, Moscow Mule, Rum Swizzle, Sherry Cobbler and other Tiki drinks, a large block or cubes of ice for drinks that are spirit heavy, such as the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and ManhattanMilk
Milk can do wonders to your regular cocktail. For a rich creamy cocktail, milk does wonder .You may argue that milk as it is made of fat, and being low in acid, will easily curdle if its mixed with alcohol.
Best way to get a rich and creamy cocktail is to use bourbon, milk will soften its whiskey flavour. If you are looking for some spicier yet creamy cocktail go for Scotch with milk cocktails, they'll surely set you holiday mood.Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter is a spread made from ground, dry-roasted peanuts and is prepared with added salt, sweeteners and emulsifiers. It is high on protein and vitamins and dietary minerals. Peanut butter pairs well with whisky and there is a peanut butter whiskey in America. Note that people with Peanut allergy should avoid using Peanut Butter and if preparing for a party, this is best avoided to prevent unforeseen emergencies. Peanut is a legume, and it’s been noted that people with peanut allergy can eat tree nuts so a peanut butter can be replaced with cashew or almond butter, but even safer alternatives would be soy or pea butter.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
