Try these new infusion combos

Here are some of my favorite infusion combinations:

  • Bourbon with cherry, fig, or peach
  • Vodka with basil, fennel, or bell peppers
  • Gin with chamomile tea, tomato, or cucumber
  • Rum with banana, mango, or pineapple
  • Tequila with blood orange, habanero, or strawberry

It's simple, just add the flavor of your choice, seal in a container and let stand at room tempurature for 2 days to 2 weeks depending on the strength of flavor desired.

You can turn a classic cocktail into a Lybations masterpiece by using your infusion - for example, a martini made with lavender gin or a Manhattan made with apple-vanilla bourbon.
