CIBOLO MOON’S INSTRUCTIONS
INFUSING TEQUILA AT HOME
1. Choose your Tequila and Flavors
Use a 100% Blue Agave silver or blanco tequila. Blanco tequilas work best because they are un-aged, thus are the freshest and can take on the most flavor. Herbs, spices and fruits are most commonly used for infusions. For best results, use fresh ingredients only.
2. Prepare the Ingredients
Choose a clean, air-tight jar: quart sized mason jars work well. Wash the ingredients, place them inside the jar and fill it with tequila. Shake a few times and cover tightly with a lid. Strawberries and Citrus fruit – wash and slice thinly. Peppers – score and leave whole or cut in half. Leave the seeds in for a spicy kick, or remove them for less spice.
3. Infusion Time
You will want to store your infusion in a cool, dark place and shake it a few times a day for the duration of the infusion. On average, the ingredients should stay in the tequila for 3-5 days. Some of your more intense flavors will only need 3 days, less intense flavors should stay in the jar for a full week or more. You should do a taste test every few days to see if the flavors are sufficient.
4. Enjoy! Single Serve
In a mixing tin combine 1 1/2 oz. Infused Tequila, 1 oz. Lime Juice, 1 oz. Agave , 1⁄2 oz. Cointreau. Pour mixing tin over ice with a strainer in a Margarita Glass with Salted Rim.
