Infused With Spirits

Wed, Mar 01, 23  |  spirits blog

If you’ve been anywhere near a vodka shelf, you’ve seen an explosion of flavors. Citrus. Raspberry. Strawberry. Cherry. Vanilla. Chocolate. Jalapeno. The latest infused spirits trend is cannabis, available depending on your locality. These flavors are an example of infused spirits—the process a distiller uses to add flavor using ingredients that aren’t included in the original product. It isn’t just for vodka, either. Gin, rum and whiskey infusions are popular too. Let’s look at a few infused spirits you can find on the shelf.
