Pumpkin Spice Espresso

You can use your infusion with any recipe!

To make a mocktail, infuse with hot water (not recommended for sangria mix). To make a cocktail, infuse with your favorite spirit. Infusions are best after 1-3 days. If you need it quicker, try heating the spirit. Strain and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks (this is the safe bet but we have definitely used them after 2 weeks and no one’s face fell off).

When making a cocktail/mocktail, your infusion replaces the alcohol and sweetener in the cocktail recipe. If the recipe calls for simple syrup or juice, add water in a 1:1 ratio. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 oz rum and 1 oz peach mango simple syrup… add 1 oz peach mango rum infusion and 1 oz water.
