Currently on the shelf:
- Pineapple-mint tequila
- Strawberry tequila
- Blackberry rum
- Cantaloupe-cucumber vodka
- Raspberry-blueberry vodka
Currently in the fridge, cold-infusing:
- Watermelon tequila
- Serrano and chipotle tequila
- Apple-cranberry gin
- Mango-coconut-pineapple tequila
Originally we did a lot of vodkas to capture as much of the fruit flavor as we could. But the tequilas have proven by far the most popular of our infusions.
Any other ideas?
I’ve done jalapeno infused tequila – spicy on it’s own but great in a margarita
Tangentially related:
At a recent gaming night, we attempted Guinness Floats.
Everyone who tried one said it was awful… except me. A spoonful of ice cream and Guinness? Maybe there is a God. Maybe he created Guinness Floats.
All that to say: Try infusing your ice cream with Guinness.
I have mead that I infuse from time to time with various blends of spices.
Chamomile & ginger is a good one.
Cardamom & allspice is another good one.
And kiwi fruit.
I just put the stuff in a microwave and let it steep for awhile, then filter it through a coffee filter.
