Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., pineapple, berries, or mango)
- 3 sprigs Herbs (e.g., basil, mint, or cilantro)
- 2 pieces Whole spices (e.g., cinnamon sticks, cloves, or star anise)
Instructions
Wash and prepare your chosen fresh ingredients: wash fruits thoroughly, peel if necessary, and cut larger fruits into manageable pieces (e.g., pineapple chunks or mango slices).
Place the prepared fruits, herbs, and/or spices into a large, clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-sealing lid.
Pour the tequila over the ingredients until they are fully submerged, and seal the jar tightly.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place (like a pantry or cabinet) for 3 to 7 days to allow the flavors to infuse. Shake the jar gently once a day to help distribute the flavors.
After the desired infusion time, taste the tequila to check the flavor. Once it reaches your desired profile, strain the tequila through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove solids.
Seal the bottle and store the infused tequila at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Use within 6 months for the best flavor.
