    Grapefruit Infused Rum, Special News and a Giveaway

    Grapefruit Infused Rum

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    I really find it hard to believe that I actually kept this news quiet for so long.  Since July of this year, I’ve debated adding a little teaser to one of my cocktail articles or even sending out a quick tweet.  Secrets, surprises and special news are all things that I can rarely keep to myself.  So I am finally happy to announce my recent book project.  Actually… my first book project!!  The Home Distiller’s Handbook is 140+ page collection of whisky and bourbon blends, infused spirits and cordials.  I contributed all of the photography to the cookbook.  Completed over the summer, this project was so much fun.  For those of you who know me well, you’re probably thinking that this project was definitely a perfect fit.  Continue reading for a recipe from the book and giveaway information.

    Sliced Grapefruit

    Whether you are a seasoned infusologist (I just made that up) or you are tackling your first project, The Home Distiller’s Handbook has a recipe for you.  Some of the basics include Jalapeno Pepper Vodka, Cherry Whisky and Cucumber Gin.  Looking for something more advanced?  Try the Pistachio Liqueur, Kahlua Creme, Bangkok or Spiced Pumpkin Vodka.  Available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, The Home Distiller’s Handbook would be a perfect gift for this Holiday season.  If you are ambitious, you could even fill a gift basket with a fancy jar, the handbook, a bottle of alcohol and some ingredients for an infusion.

    Cider Mill Press has graciously given me 5 copies of The Home Distiller’s Handbook to giveaway to Kitchen Konfidence readers!  To enter you can do one or all of the following:

    1.  Leave me a comment below sharing your favorite flavored alcohol.

    2.  Like Kitchen Konfidence on Facebook. [leave a separate comment below for entry]

    3.  Subscribe to the Kitchen Konfidence recipe digest. [leave a separate comment below for entry]

    Winners will be selected by random drawing and announced December 11, 2011.  For US residents only.  Now… on to the recipe!

      Lemongrass and fresh ginger with vodka. Takes a while for the infusion to mature but over ice with a splash of seltzer and just enough simple syrup to take the edge off it’s divine, especially when paired with a steamy summer day!

      As for my favorite flavored alcohol… is probably a passion fruit blood orange one that I bought at the store. It’s bright pink and gorgeous! I also really like the Firefly sweet tea…SO GOOD with ice cold lemonade.

      Already on FB and mailing list and have been enjoying for quite a while now. Favorite infused sprit is probably vanilla rum. I find it soothing and quite flexible from simply mixing with cola to more complex drinks. Would love the book to really start making a nice collection of home infusions for my humble little bar in my apartment.
      Thanks.

      The first time I ever had a flavored alcohol was when I was in Russia for the first time (and it’s the only time I’ve been there). I was 18 and I had not had a lot of experience with drinking, but we went to a nice restaurant where they had different kinds of infused vodkas. I chose strawberry. It was divine. I remember the combination of sweet sugary strawberries and shocking stinging vodka mixing in my mouth at the same time. Ever since then, I’ve always wanted to infuse my own alcohol, but I haven’t had the chance to just yet. The recipe looks very simple, and delicious. And who doesn’t love rum?

      This book looks fantastic–I hadn’t even heard of it either. Well I suppose technically my favorite infused alcohol is vanilla extract for baking, but otherwise I would love to make limoncello!

      My favorite infusion so far is the oatmeal-honey vodka from Chow.com. Sooooo good for sipping!

      I made a black currant brandy with berries I picked this summer. It was so good straight up or mixed with a splash of 7UP. This book looks awesome!

      My favorite flavored liquor is jalapeno tequila – great on its own 🙂

      I had some really tasty pineapple infused vodka last weekend. So, for now, that is my current fave; that being said, however, it is hard to resist this grapefruit concoction!

      i’ve made my own lemoncello before but this recipe sounds great! do you sweeten your infusions to make liqueurs as well? i love entertaining with friends, do you have any cocktails you would recommend for an infusion like this one?

        Hi Sarah, I have sweetened some of my infusions in the past, but I usually don’t. I like to add the sweetness during the cocktail making stage 🙂 You could use this infusion to make a darn tasty Mojito! I’m sure you could even do a spin on a Dark & Stormy.

        Thanks Jeff! I’ll have to say though that book doesn’t really cover distilling. It’s more like a collection of alcohol infusions.

      I love a gin cocktail with green chartreuse and a splash of St. Germain – – but recent tasted some house-infused Cardamom vodka at a local restaurant in DC and it was amazing!! Really hoping to do some of my own infusing.
