Booze Clues: Infusions

The next Booze Clues is tonight over at House DSG. Hopefully you caught our prep post about 2 weeks ago, so your infusions are ready to go! If not, there is still time to prep the Chamomile Rye Whiskey and Jalapeño Tequila.

Taste-testing will include:
  • Pecan Bourbon (Buffalo Trace)
  • Chamomile Rye Whiskey (Overholt)
  • Jalapeño Tequila (Milagro silver)
  • Vanilla Pineapple Tequila (Milagro silver)
We will be using 3 of our infusions for cocktails. The Vanilla Pineapple Tequila is pretty sweet and great on it's own for sipping, so we have not chosen a specific cocktail but feel free to experiment.

Blown Rose
3 apple slices
2 oz chamomile rye
1/2 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz cinnamon bark syrup

Buffalo Soldier
2 oz pecan bourbon
1/4 oz demerara (turbinado) syrup

Short Rib
2 oz jalapeño tequila
3/4 oz lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
3/4 Tbsp (~1/8 oz) pomegranate molasses


So, we didn't do the tests necessary to live-stream the first and educational half of Booze Clues this month. However, we are still starting at 7 pm CDT and you can join us on twitter for some conversation!
