Infused: 100+ Recipes for Infused Liqueurs and Cocktails Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up this book on a recent trip to Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon. I've made liqueurs in the past and this book rekindled my interest in this culinary hobby. One aspect that I especially like about this book is that most all of the infustion recipes can are adaptable to making infused spirits (sans sugar syrup) or liqueurs (sweet libations). Many of the recipes have variations. For instance, the Elderflower Liqueur recipe lists variations on adapting the recipe to create Lavender, Rose, or Violet liqueuers.
The book is very nicely designed and pictures of the liqueurs and the cocktails they enhance are likely to make your mouth water. (They did mine.)

Infused liqueurs are the hot new ingredients for cocktails. With more than 30 infusions plus dozens of drinks to use them in, Infused combines spirits like vodka and rum with fruits, flowers, herbs, and spices to create superior liqueurs. Take the Gibson and give it a kick with Onion Vodka. Cool down with Watermelon Martinis on warm summer days, or get the heat going with Hot Mint Chocolate spiked with Mind Vodka, a perfect antidote to cold winter nights. Many infusions pair with multiple recipes: herb-infused vodkas enliven both the Rosemary Martini and the Strawberry Basil Martini. Chocolate Vodka is the indulgence in the Chocolate Martini, Brandy Alexander, and the Grasshopper. The versatility of each infusion makes giving a bottle of homemade liqueur a unique gift for any drink connoisseur. With tips on how to shake, stir, and chill, and enough recipes and ideas to reinvent any party, this colorful little book is the ultimate infusion of fun.
