Your choice of alcohol
(vodka, rum, gin, tequila, or whiskey all work well depending on the flavor) -
A refrigerator
-
Optional: soda water, juice, or tonic for mixing
3 Easy Steps
1. Prepare the Jar
Remove the moisture absorber from the jar. This is only used for storage and should not be included during infusion.
2. Add Alcohol
Fill the jar with alcohol of your choice, making sure the fruit is fully submerged.
3. Chill & Infuse
Seal the jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
For a stronger flavor, you can let it infuse longer—up to 24 hours.
Once infused, strain out the fruit and your infusion is ready to use.
How to Enjoy It

Can I Reuse the Kit?
Yes!
After the first use, the fruit can be infused a second time for an additional 6–8 drinks. The flavor will be lighter but still delicious, please note that if you want the sweeter notes you will need to add sugar or a sweetener of your choice.
