How to infuse liquor
If you really want to impress your guests, infuse your tequila with rosemary and cranberries for 2 days to 1-week+ before your party!
Purchase any large drink dispenser on Amazon or wherever you purchase things from, mason jars look real nice, and then pour in a couple bottles of tequila and add in your infusions to just marinate as long as you have!
Even though it doesn’t wildy sway the tastes… the presentation to your guests is next level! Even if you just lie and do it for a day, they won’t know the difference but it looks amazing!
This is a great tip for any drinking party you host… infused alcohol is always a hit!
