Holiday Spirit(s)
December 13th, 2011
For a fun twist on holiday gifts, I’ve been infusing alcohol with various flavors. It’s a great way to provide a unique take on traditional cocktails and lets you customize the flavors for each person on your list. I experimented with three different spirits and added two complementary ingredients to each. I infused them for three days in a sealed jar, strained them into individual bottles, made some sparkly labels (with a glue pen and loose glitter), and added a jingle ball for a festive finishing touch.

These look and sound AMAZING!! Thanks so much for sharing. I cant wait to give these a try (especially the vodka, lavender, lemon… Mmm!!)
I love infusing vodka with citrus, maybe I’ll try it with some rosemary to give it a twist. Or how about cinnamon – bourbon?
This is a super cute idea!! Which one was your favorite??
Terrific idea! I think I’ll include some of my little “infusers” in the bottle
A little festive
Thank you! Nicole @Giraffelegs, my favorite was the tequila since it was equal parts spicy and fruity. The others were nice too, but just a bit more subtle.
Wow! I wish I could get my shit together enough to do something like this! The tequila sounds especially amazing
mmmmm yummy can’t wait for exams to be over and to be able to party and make these fantastic drinks

This is such an amazing idea for a customized gift. I might just have to try it!
What a delicious spark to holiday beverages! Do any of them need to be refrigerated during the infusion process?
This is such a creative idea. I am definitely going to try this out!
