A message on the DC board which mentioned infusing Vodka with Meyer lemons got me thinking. What are your favorite alcohol infusion ideas? How long does the infusion need to sit before the flavor has really penetrated the alcohol?...

Why there’s no fruit in your fruit-flavored vodka.

I usually infuse cupcakes/cakes with an alcohol based syrup so, inasmuch as it’s heated, it looses some of its alcohol. To answer your questions more directly, a full “shot” of booze poured onto a cupcake is...

Vodka is infused with cardamom and saffron for bitters with a fabulous aroma and a bright burnt-sienna hue.
