The Art of Infusion

Infusing spirits is a simple yet rewarding process that unlocks a world of flavor possibilities. By steeping fruits, spices, or herbs in Felene Vodka, their essence is extracted, creating a unique and personalized spirit. The key is to use high-quality ingredients and allow sufficient time for the flavors to meld.

Fall’s Flavorful Bounty

Fall offers a cornucopia of fruits and spices perfect for infusion. Apples, pears, cranberries, figs, and pomegranates lend a fruity sweetness, while cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, star anise, and ginger add warmth and complexity. Experiment with different combinations to discover your signature fall infusion.

Infusion Techniques

The cold infusion method is ideal for delicate fruits and herbs. Simply combine your chosen ingredients with Felene Vodka in a clean jar, seal tightly, and store in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days, shaking occasionally. Taste test periodically and strain when the desired flavor is achieved.

For heartier fruits and spices, a warm infusion can be used. Gently heat the ingredients with Felene Vodka in a saucepan over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t simmer. Allow to cool completely before straining.
