Infused Spirits
Infused spirits are alcoholic beverages that have been enhanced with flavors from various ingredients, such as fruits, herbs, spices, or botanicals. This process involves steeping these ingredients in a base spirit, like vodka or gin, allowing the flavors to meld over time. The result is a unique drink that offers a distinct taste profile, often enjoyed in cocktails or on its own.
The infusion process can vary in duration, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the desired flavor intensity. Popular examples of infused spirits include flavored vodkas, herbal liqueurs, and gin infused with botanicals. These beverages have gained popularity for their versatility and the creative possibilities they offer in mixology.
